Oh Mother, my mother i touch your tears with invisible fingers, soothing your skin I know you think of me so often in the day, in the night going into an empty nursery knowing I'll never be there but I am...in your heart and in your soul, I shall always be for you gave so unselfishly of yourself.
Inside of you, you created such a wonderful world for me, a world of laughter, of love, of sadness, of sorrow evry emotion people come to know, you shared with me.
And even though I may never feel your arms around me I felt your heart beating, like a lullaby, singing me to sleep and your spirit giving me a safe haven already protecting me, nurturing me, preparing me of things to come.
But sometimes the journey of life pulls souls apart and yes, I had to go onto another place.
I wish I could stay...I wish this was a decision I could make and I know you do too.
Know this, mommy, wherever you are: I will always remember that yours was the first love, the first joy, the first soul I will ever know you gave me the courage to go on in my journey I hope I can do the same for you.
Your heart will always call me to you.
Love, your child
