In Memory Of My Mother

Mother…I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

I think of you in silence and I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

Today is my mother's birthday. I lost her five years and one month ago, but I hope to find her on the other side.

Great, great poem. I especially like the line, "God has you in His keeping". So true, so very true.

A wonderful tribute to your dear Mother. We sure do miss them when they are gone.
