I think of you when the wind blows and ruffles the grasses.
That is very often.
Memories fade over time,
But the feeling of you has always remained.
Warm, kind, caring, my protector.
This, I’m grateful for.
Many days and nights, I’ve longed for you.
Wished you could share my joys, love me through my failures.
Wrap your arms around me, so I know it will be okay.
Rationality kicks in, I know this is not possible,
But my heart has always yearned for it to be true.
The time we spent together here on this Earth was short,
but somehow you managed to find a home in my heart forever.
I love you, mom, forever and always.
