Mother your words were so kind

Inspiring with love

Unconditional belief in me

Never reaching higher

But reaching for happiness

Loving me always

Bringing joy to my life

Lessons of love galore

To hear your voice inspired

To get a hug made all the world better

When you left, I was lost

You were my compass in this world

You were the light of belief

For me, you turned my world

When you were gone, so was my belief

I now know you are still with me

I feel your touch every day

I know you walk with me no matter what

All of my tears, salting my body

Vanished into the warmth of your spirit

You are still with me on this journey

We walk together

I am not alone

If I am

It’s because of who you are

I move forward

Yes I do

I move forward

Because of you
