Happy Mother's Day, Mom - Part III

This is the fourth Mother's Day that has come around since you died.

When you perished, I had to deal with a lot of pain on the inside.

When you became ill, I wanted you to get well and so did my brother.

I found out just how painful it is when a person loses his or her mother.

You are gone but I still have fond memories of you.

You were terrific and other people knew that you were amazing too.

You were a very special mother and I'll always be proud to give you praise.

You still exist in my eyes because I'll carry you in my heart for the rest of my days.



[Dedicated to Agnes Greene-Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
