There is no love that surpasses a mother’s love and when Mom has a life threatening illness it causes one to take stock, and when she recovers, praise God.
Mama sits quietly
An animated look upon her face
The children are drawn to her
And love visiting Grandma’s place
They chatter endlessly
About everyone and everything
But Mama just sits quietly
Watching and listening
Her little dog jumps and runs
With the energy of ten
She grabs the sock from Mama’s pocket
And then she runs again
Mama’s face is aglow
Love etched upon her face
There’s much love to be found
When visiting Mama’s place
She sits beside a pen and pad
And writes notes with her two hands
She reminisces about Dad
There’s a lot she understands
But still she must sit quietly
Her speech was taken from a stroke
She communicates by writing
It’s a long time since she’s spoke.
She expresses love by touch
And caresses with her hands
We love her very much
And are glad she understands.
Though her speech was taken from her
We are glad she has her mind
Mom’s one of the smartest ladies
You will ever find.
And even though she’s clever
It’s her heart that makes her rare
For she has the purest heart
And love beyond compare.
We love you, Mom
