Oh, such a beautiful poem and a wonderful picture with touching words to very much compliment your poem whicvh also is a gesture of love to your mom, celebrating her first Birthday in Heaven. And, Thank Goodness she lived a long life here. Though, know you still miss her so, and have...I know plenty of good memories of her to cherish... Missing her still a lot....As I do my parent who passed over two decades ago. Though with our fervent faith in God's grace and the afterlife, we must think they are soulfully happy in a much deserved Heavenly realm.

Thanks for sharing & wish that I had a six left to give to your poem...Caressa_08

I'm sorry! Your mother is still in your heart. When my father died, I was at a bus stop and felt someone behind me. I turned, no one was there. I like to think that was him.
My mother died when I was fifteen from addiction. I wish to God that she was still here, so this is a really bad time for me too. It gets better as time goes on--I know those words don't help. Your poem pays her honor.

Awe, how sweet, Portia.
All children should love their mothers for they are the ones who brought them into this world and gave them life.
Sure, some mothers are better than others. Like you, I was fortunate enough to have a very loving, caring, nurturing and supportive mom growing up.
I also realize that's not the case for everyone.
Still, we only get one mother in this life.
I'm fortunate enough to still have both of my parents still living. It is something I will never take for granted.

Nicely done, a lovely, well written ode to your mom and to motherhood everywhere.
~Dean

This is such a beautiful, heartfelt poem which reverberated with me. I lost my mother ten years ago, but think of her every day. I never got over the grief and pain. She was the Light of my life. It's tough to on, but she would have wanted me too.

I think, our mothers are now in heaven, watching over us. Some day...

Thank you for this poem.

VERY GOOD write.
I think it should have been entered into the Mother's Day Poetry Contest.
This has brought tears to my eyes. So emotional.
Outstanding artwork. The image shown is perfect for this writing. The background color goes well with the art.
Thanks for sharing.
Good luck with your future writing.

This is a beautiful gift, Portia! I do think your Mom can see and receive it. Even though, we don't know how Heaven and Earth are intertwined, it seems that the spiritual realm is not that far as we know Jesus is near. I always take your words to heart to spend time with our mothers when we can. My Mom lives far but we email and skype regularly. Thanks for sharing your lovely tribute. â?¤

Portia,
Your mother read every word you wrote. Your poem was beautiful & touching.

It is hard when these events happen after the loss of a loved one. But those loved ones want us to continue & they will watch over us.

Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan
