A Poem for my mom

I Thought of You Today

As the rain falls, I thought of you today.
It reminded me of how you wiped my tears when I cried.

As I watched a leaf fall & get carried by the wind, I thought of you today.
It reminded me of how you carried me through the ruff times.

I saw the sun shine through the clouds & I thought of you today.
It reminded me how you brighten my days.

I saw a mother brush her daughter’s hair from her eyes, and I thought of you today.
It reminded me of when you used to brush my hair from my eyes.

I saw a mother kiss her child’s cut & I thought of you today.
It reminded me of how you used to kiss my pains away.

I thought of you today when my son said, remember when...
And I thought of all the times we would sit and talk and we would say remember when...

I thought of you today and was sad because you are no longer with me.

Maybe I didn’t say it enough, but you have filled my life with so much joy and my heart with so much love.

I thought of you today...and remembered you are always around me.
