Happy Mother's Day

I wish everyone a very Happy Mother's Day.

Mama, I miss you and wish you were here.

I Still Miss Her by Pam Shattu

It seems like only yesterday

I sent a Mother’s Day card away.

I didn't think it would be the last,

I signed it with love and mailed it fast.

Now that she has gone away,

It doesn't feel like Mother’s Day.

There are no more chances to send a card,

To ship some flowers, to make a call.

There’s no more thanking her for all she’s done.

No more visits,

No more fun.

I cannot hug her or kiss her cheek.

I cannot even share a laugh.

It all too quickly became the past.

I took each visit with her for granted.

I thought there’d always be more to come.

The camera lies still now

From her use and mine.

All the pictures have been taken,

All the memories have been made.

All the words have been spoken,

All the letters have been mailed.

The thing I miss the most of all

Has got to be her voice

Whether on the telephone or talking face to face.

I’d wish for one more conversation either here or at her place.

I know I’ll see her again some day,

We’ll share the sights of heaven.

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh, we’ll hug,

We’ll kiss….it’ll be Mother’s Day once more.

But until then I’ll be a mom for Mother’s Day instead of

Being a daughter.
