Dearest Mommy

When you wonder the meaning of life and love

Know that I am with you,

Close your eyes and feel me kissing you

in the gentle breeze across your cheek.

When you begin to doubt that you shall ever

see me again. Quiet your mind and hear me,

I am in the whisper of the heavens.

Speaking of your love.

When you lose your identity

When you question who

you are and where you are going,

Open you heart and see me.

I am the twinkle in the stars

smiling down upon you,

Lighting the path for your journey.

When you awaken each morning

Not remembering your dreams

But feeling content and serene

Know that I was with you--

Filling your night with thoughts of me.

When you linger in the remnant pain

Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar

Think of me and Know that I am with you

Touching you through the shared

tears of a gentle friend Easing the pain.

As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky

In the breathtaking glory, awaken your spirit.

Think of our time, all too brief,

but ever brilliant. When you were certain of us,

together. When you were certain of your destiny

Know That God created that moment in time,

Just for us, Dearest Mommy,

I am with you always
