I
Am me
Because of her.
***
In mud-pit of fallibility,
She washes clean her love
For me and steps up to bath me clean.
***
Her blood boils when my clothes soil
Her tears fall, when sadness walks my face
Her mood calls, when danger stalks my path
Her stomach churns, when sickness visits me.
***
She is a bear and a lioness
The former for my comfort
The latter for my protection
***
My ordinary self
Over climbs many hurdled mountains
Together with hope aiming
Heaven because of her light
Emancipation of soul is achieved
Repeatedly, thanks to her

My mother died in August 1998 and I miss her every day. Nothing has been the same since she passed away. I really feel that void when I’m sick and I’ve had numerous health challenges the worse being a stroke and eye surgery. Life is not the same without my Mom or my Dad.

So sorry dear Debbie. but you must have the satisfaction that she lived and that she is now your spiritual helper looking down from heaven at you at all times. 🙂
