This poem is a tribute to my beloved mother who died on February 27th.
My Mother's Legacy
First mother's Day without my mom
Is rather sad and hard
This year I can not call her up
Or even send a card
There's so much love inside of me
I feel I must address it
And so for me to write a poem
Is one way to express it
My mother was the kindest soul
She loved to give and share
So sensitive to everyone
And always there with prayer
She shone so bright for Jesus
In the things she'd do and say
Reflecting Him to others
In a clear and gentle way
Whenever I was sick or down
Or simply felt alone
She always had the words I'd need
And such a tender tone
Her faith was so enduring
It would rise above my fear
Her voice, her laugh, her wisdom
Are the memories I hold dear
Her heart for Christ, her love for me
And all our family...
These things I'll always treasure
They're my mother's legacy
