I Miss You

Thoughts for Mother's Day

I miss you

Three of the simplest words to say
An arduous task to tally the reasons
A listing so long with a myriad of memories
Memorized photo that pops into view
Captured images of your gentle beauty
Painted portrait that dwells in my mind
Home’s meaning graced by nostalgia
I miss you
Now absent hugs so warm and loving
Savored scent of a mother’s comfort
Sweet bouquet of a tender embrace
Wrapped in the aroma of love unconstrained
I miss you
Gift of history a treasured legacy
Place of belonging breeds familiar
Ribboned heartstrings tied to the past
Promised a future bathed in love
I miss you
Sage advice tossed foolishly aside
Coveted today with each new struggle
Shared giggles through life’s traveled path
Glint of pride that sparkled in your eyes
I miss you
Faith illuminated as a guiding star
Blissful passing through wisdom’s waters
Garnered youth’s moral foundation
A chance to dream, the strength to aspire
I miss you
Three of the simplest words to say
Eternal gratitude and love heaven sent
With infinite thoughts to define
One indescribable word
