With her own heart, she gave love

Guiding and nurturing me down the path

Of life, a life I could not have lived, without her

Her gentle touch, comforting words, always

Music to my ears, a concert of positive

Notes left in my lunchbox, her reminder

She was always with me, always had me,

In her arms, even in her weakest moments

She was stronger than anyone I knew, and

Now that she has made the journey to Heaven

I know I will still have that guiding light,

For in my eyes, she will always be a star.

Hello friends,

On Wednesday, June 10, I lost my Mom.  I am in shock and just numb, so I will be taking an extended leave from WordPress.  I lost my best friend, my mentor, my heart is broken.

Hug your loved ones always, tell them you love them, tomorrow is never promised.

Until my return..

Dorinda

Thank you so very much!

Hello friends!

A big thank you for all the wonderful messages you’ve left for mom.  She’s resting comfortably in a nursing facility.  I’m very happy with the care she is getting and this eases my mind a bit.  I’ll still be on hiatus but will pop a poem occasionally.  I hope you’re all well and writing or clicking or whatever!!   🙂

❤

Criss-cross applesauce

I hit the chair and watched it toss

Across the patio it flew

I wasn’t quite sure what to do

I wonder if my mom did hear

But, I don’t see her coming near

Maybe this time she won’t know

If the chair is upright, should she show

Okay, it’s good, all fixed, but gee

I guess no more jump rope, here, for me

I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday!  Happy Birthday, Mom!!  Here’s to many more!  ❤

Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above

Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give

And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds
