Poem For My Mother

Mother's Day 2000


When I'm feeling sad, 
I call you and you cheer me up.
When I find myself in a dilemma, 
I call you and you help me to figure out what to do.
When I'm delighting in an achievement, 
I call you and you celebrate with me.
And when I just feel like talking, 
I call you and you really listen.
I'm so blessed to have you.


And a time will come when I no longer have you.
And when I'm feeling low, 
I will remember your words of encouragement.
And when I struggle with a decision, 
I will apply your wisdom.
And when I celebrate an achievement, 
I will know you would have been proud.
And when I need to talk to you,  
I will.
