A Mother's Love
A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may.
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away...
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking...
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems...
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation...
A many splendorous miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
mommy, you would call me while you were listening to 'Wind beneath my wings,' and you'd always ask me if I still loved you and whether or not I thought that you were a good mother. whether you raised me right. you always questioned it. I am so sorry if I ever gave you reason to doubt anything. nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever take away this pain. this pain of not being able to hear you tell me that you love me at least one more time. the pain of not being able to tell you that I love you, and that no one would ever be able to take your place. we may have had our ups and our downs, but you were the best mother that I could have ever asked for. the most AMAZING grandmother that Hannah could have ever asked for. we will both miss you, because you were and are a part of us. a part of me that is left empty, yet treasured for eternity. I never had the opportunity to tell you or to show you how much I truly appreciated you. the beautiful memories that I had as a child, and the memories that you have provided for Hannah...the ones that I will never let her forget. you and I will meet again. and when we do, I will give you the biggest hug and tell you that you have inspired me in so many ways. I am taking all of this so differently. I cry when it's just me. I have your strength mommy, but I still question whether or not you'd be proud of me for the way that I laid you to rest. I just want to be reassured that I did everything the way that you would have liked it. anyhow, I will never forget you and I will never let you go. Please watch over both Hannah and I. we need your guidance. I love you. so very much. words can't even explain how much I love you. you will always be with me. right here in my heart. walk with everyone that we love so dearly, and wait for us until we see your beautiful face again. ~your beloved daughter Summer.
