It was
Mother's Day
yesterday
I wanted to write
a poem
or my Mother~
but the words
would not
come to mind

I wanted
to tell her
how much
I loved her;
that I miss her
so much
that I owe
her so much

I feel her presence
and at times;
I talk to her;
not out loud
but in my head

It could not have
been easy for her
a handicapped child
from the start

But she was strong
and I know
she blamed
herself
I never did

Ma~ know that I loved you
know that
your weak child
is now strong

My children
have grown
they have
kids of their own

I can not fill
your shoes
you were a
totAlly unique
and wonderful woman

G-d knows, I made mistates
along the way
but because
of you
I turned out ok
