Hands so soft
as only a Mother's could be
So warm and so gentle
reaching out to me.

Eyes full of love
so tender and brown
Twinkle like diamonds
big bright and round.

Face of an angel
so perfect in form
Fine flawless skin
so sweet and so warm.

Heart of a Saint
so perfect and true
I couldn't have imagined
how much I'd miss you.

My beautiful Mother,
I miss you so much
How I'd give all I own
to feel the sweet touch

Of the warm hands so soft
that can belong to no other
But to only my sweet
and beautiful Mother.

For my Mother Virginia, 1943-2008.
I miss you Mommy.
Happy Mother's Day, 2009.

I suppose I understand.
Your light to her guiding hand

always without question

Amazing Face
White as snow the strands of hair
That fell around her face
Her soft brown eyes and rosy cheeks,
A smile that showed
