I remember

It seems a million years ago

Or just yesterday

I’m conflicted you see

For I miss you just the same

As I did the day you left us

Taking your last breath

And with it a piece of our hearts 

I remember you everyday

Wanting to pick up the phone

And hear your voice

Just one more time

I wish you could see

The accomplishments your kids

And grandkids have achieved

Because of your teachings

We strive for success

And succeed doing our best

You taught so many things

But the most important things

Taught were to love life

Love family, be happy even

When times are tough

For with family

We can weather any storm

Happiness is at our call

Love you Mom

Now and always

Happy Birthday
