Your love for your mother
is something that you never
completely comprehend
until you are separated by the miles
from her warmth and her wonder.
When I was living at home,
I took many things for granted
without meaning to
and I always knew
what a precious person you were
but I never really took the time
to go beyond the thought
and into what you really meant to me.
Now that I'm without you by my side,
I find myself thinking of you so often...
hoping in a way that it will
bring you a little closer to me.
And in those thoughts
I always come to the conclusion
that you are more than my mother'
you're a counselor and a companion;
you're a dear friend and a happy home;
you're a thousand beautiful memories
and you're someone whom I love with all my heart.
