"A Mother's Love"

Mom’s birthday today;
blowing the candles
on the cherry cake;
her face now pale
with eyes of blue;
a lighter hue.

Smiling away
to yesterday;
three children
on a widow's pay;
a close knit family.
She taught us to pray
living life in Godly ways.

Never ever to stray
when heaven calls;
to the pearly gate
where she waits;
with a kiss
and a cuddle;
to hold our Dad.

Reminding him of her love
when he bowed to propose!
“Will you marry me to bear our children?
John, Joe and Jill with blue eyes and blond hair;
holding hands at your grave, mirrored in the clouds;
a Mother’s love on earth, to be with her Savior in heaven."
