With Hugs 'n Kisses
Dearest Mom,
Hoping this will reach you
'fore special Holiday
sealed with hugs 'n kisses
while strolling memory lane
We may have had our differences
'n sometimes disagreed
these words I'm sending onward
now ready for release
Always I did love you
perhaps it didn't show
'n so I write my feelings
with hope, somehow you'll know
Yesterday gone forever
tomorrow out of reach
today my heartfelt scribbles
were dipped in mem'ries ink
When only just a toddler
I'd cling to apron strings
our silliness 'n laughter
revisited in dreams
Mom, can you remember
my pigtails tied in bows?
painted cheeks 'n lipstick
dress up in your clothes?
If only for a moment
I could take your hand
whisper, 'Mom, I'm sorry'
I truly understand
Life for you was difficult
wish I had known it then
instead of passing judgement
would have been a friend
If I could give you mem'ries
to cherish evermore
I'd take away the sadness
you harbored deep in soul
Wishing now to hug you
bust a laugh or three
go shopping, on a picnic
share giggles, morning tea
If only it were possible
I'd place kisses 'pon your face
'n wisk away the heartache
with tender, warm embrace
Mom,
I trace your picture
childhood crosses mind
days of yore resurface
unleash themselves in rhyme
I can not bring dark chocolate
tied with ribbons red
or deliver favorite flowers
so send my love instead
My heart is on the paper
now wet with flowing tears
if only ink held magic
could bring back yesteryears
Mama can you catch it?
my kiss blown to the sky
at rainbows end...
I'll see you...
in sweetest bye 'n bye
I Love you, Mom!
Happy Mothers Day!
Your Daughter,
Rose
