Missing Mom on Mother’s Day

May 11th, 2008   Filed under: Heartache, Holidays, Missing Mom

Mother’s Day is bittersweet without my Mom. I think of her everyday and wish she were here, but days like today are just a little tougher and a little sadder.

Memory of You

Early one morning, I looked toward the blue
And saw the most beautiful memory of you
The vision was one that was perfect and clear
In proving your spirit shall always be near
The sight, filled with wonder, stretched across the sky
Its presence eased the ache found in our goodbye
For, suddenly, I knew we would meet once more
As angels, united, inside Heaven’s door.

I stood in amazement, gazing near the sun
And realized your struggles, here on earth, were done
After many battles, your burdens had ceased
Your hardships had ended; your soul was at peace
Throughout many hours, I sat and I grieved
But in that reminder, my heart felt relieved
The sight which had formed, right before my eyes
Brought my heart much comfort in the midst of sighs.

Early one morning, I looked ‘cross the blue
And saw the most beautiful memory of you
The vision was one that had prompted a tear
Yet, proved to my heart you will always be near
A rainbow had formed from the sky to the sea
A testament of the joy you brought to me
Serving as a promise we will meet again
In the walls of Heaven, far from grief and pain.
~Jill Eisnaugle
