Dear Mother Poem by Sarah Persson

Dear Mother

Rating: 5.0


Standing in the doorway
Of the chapel where she lay,
I gazed upon the people,
Some not seen until today,
I'd known that she was wonderful,
An angel given life,
She always had a way with hearts,
The ideal friend, mother, wife.

I walked to take my final gaze,
The face I'd known so well,
I wasn't sure just what I'd find,
It hurt too much to tell,
Each step was hollow, loud in sound
But still with steady pace,
Before I knew my eyes looked down,
I gazed right at my mothers face,

I froze, I looked, she wasn't there
And within I couldn't find,
The very strength within my soul
To reach out with my hand,
And all I had to give me grace,
Lay resting in her ashen face,
As teardrops fell I knew I'd find,
Resolve within this bitter taste.

I knew she'd watch out over me,
I knew each day that passed,
She'd always be my guiding grace
Until my very last,
I took from that a comfort
And it never leaves my mind,
Your spirit will forever be,
Alive and unconfined.

A Mother most precious individual on earth to whom we always lean upon, by death or alive. All stanzas are beautifully worded, but the most beautiful is the final stanza, I so admire. In every word created here, I can feel a deep sadness overflowing your heart, mine too. A Mother is irreplaceable. Thank you for this heart-wrenching write.
