Love You, Mom! Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

LOVE YOU, MOM!

So many times I've thought about
The things you used to do
And now those little memories
Are whispers, to me, of you.

Of when you held me on your lap,
Brushed the dirt right off my knee,
Or took me to the city park
Holding a leaf for me to see.

You read the greatest stories
Until I fell asleep
And sat beside me as I prayed
For God, my soul to keep.

And as I grew, you taught me things
That I'd need later on,
And We tried not to think about
The time when you'd be gone.

So now I'd like to tell you
That those days were just the best
And that our close relationship
Has surely stood the test.

To tell you that I love You
More then any words can say,
And that I pray each evening
That We'll enjoy another day.

For now our roles are just reversed
As I tuck you in your bed,
And hope that all the words are there....
And that, to you, They've all been said!

LOVE YOU, MOM!
