Anniversaries of the Heart
I wrote this poem when I was thinking of my darling Mum on her birthday, the 26th of March.
She passed away in 2018 and would have been 92.
Forever grateful
For the love and the care
For her gentle nature
And heart felt prayer
For her love which encompassed
As she baked and sewed
Bringing sustenance and joy
Wherever she’d go
A picture of beauty
Her garden and home
Arms and doors open
As we’d return
Full of our burdens
Bags and children
A place of rest
A place of joy
Hospitality
Love’s emploie
Chatter and laughter
Through the years
Many a time
Woven with tears
As hearts joined
To allay fears
For loved ones
Thank you Mum
For all that you gave
You were so gentle
You were so brave
Always Loving
Always there
Always covering us
In prayer
You have a cherished place
In my heart
I’m so thankful
We’re never far apart.
