Mother's Day Dream~~~

I lost my Mom nine years ago~~~~
And I left some things unsaid.

Perhaps this little dream of mine
can fill in the gaps~~~~

Mother's Day Dreams

I took a drive along a lonely, lovely lane,

To see my Mom, I'm melancholy to be going back again.

Memory speaks of a table full of goodies~~~tried and true.

Fresh coffee, hugs and kisses, and a lot of

I LOVE YOU.

So much I had to tell her, so much wisdom sought,

My new career and changes in my life had wrought.

Looking into her eyes, I realize the pain I've put her through,

And yet she greets me with a sigh, “Oh Baby,

I Love You.”

“Come rest a spell, and tell me all that you have learned,

Did getting far away from home bring all for which you yearned?”

“Are you happy, Baby, do you feel “Really Blessed?”

“Can you, in your heart-of-hearts say “You have done your best”?

“Have you found a man you truly Love.

And does he realize,

The joy of sharing with you

Passion that touches the skies?”

“My only wish has always been your happiness,

I've prayed that you have been Truly Blessed

With someone to grow old with

Who will stand time's awesome test.'

“Oh Mom”, I said, “I've tried so hard to make you proud of me.

I've made some mistakes, but all in all,

I'm happy, don't you see.

I wish we'd had this talk, Mom, before

God took you away.

I made this trip home to see you Mom,

Because it's Mother's Day”.

Brushing off her stone, slowly I turn to walk away

I guess that I have said all that I came to say.

I turn my car back along that lovely lonely lane,

And as I go, I'm humming Mom's sweet refrain.
