Mother…can you hear me…I so need one of your smiles.

I know I used to aggravate you….haven`t done that for a while.

You are not here.

Yet, in my heart 

I know…

Your love is always with me Momma

No matter where I go.

I would love to dance

to pirouette , to show you

 that I am fine.

I am feeling well

 still swear like hell

there are other flaws that are wholly mine.

Momma, I never got to tell

you of all the things I learned.

Of all the joys that filled my heart

while your lessons I did spurn.

Momma, I have a home now

I no longer live on the street.

Momma, I have friends now

the kind of folks you`d love to meet.

Momma, I do not laze around

complaining about my life.

Momma, thanks for making me so strong

that I could handle a little strife.

Momma, can you hear me.

Momma, can you see that I have

finally beat that demon rum.

Momma, I see you in my mirror now,

more and more each and every day.

Momma, precious Momma, do you hear me

in  my love as I walk the narrow way.

I have found the love you spoke of

when you said you had been redeemed.

Momma, oh my precious departed Momma

my life has become a dream.

I never gave you grand kids

to hold your hand and play

I never gave you much joy

but Momma, look at me today.

I have the serenity you spoke of

when you told me look within.

I have peace, joy and laughter

my day begins with a grin.

Momma, I see you in my mirror now,

“more and more each and every day.“

Momma, precious Momma, do you hear my love today

I thank you

my dear departed Momma,

in everything I do.

I give my life in service

with dedication and  thanks

for seeing me through.

Momma, can you hear me…I am missing you.
