You showed me how to walk, & trust
To hold my head up high
When all around me things went wrong
… You held me tight, ’til all was calm!
You showed me how to grin & bear
When in despair I went,
You taught me how to smile again
When death rolled in, & took a soul!
Now lifes’ moved on, & toll its’ took
On how you lived your life,
When all you gave to us your heart
You’re love so sweet divine!
A year’s now past, & through it’s taught
Me how to carry on –
With such sweet love, my family for!
In honour of your love you taught
I’ll always grow my own –
To show my family how to smile
How to carry on!
How to love, when things go wrong
And how to hold a hand.
I’ll always show that, God is Love
In Him we trust, & walk!

Sharon displays great poetic skill and control in this wonderfully and sensitively wrought poem on such an emotionally delicate subject!
truly pure feelings to the depths…..
Thankyou for your lovely sentiments. I wasn’t sure whether to post My Mothers’ Love or not.
