Thoughts on this Mother's Day

Mother's Day holds a different meaning for anyone whose mom has passed away. This is the 7th Mother's Day that I've been without my mom and even though it makes me sad, I try to remember the good times.

I'll Celebrate Instead of Cry

Another Mother's Day is here,

And I still miss having you near.

You were the best mom you could be,

And I never once doubted your love for me.

I could spend each Mother's Day in sorrow,

Crying and wishing you were here,

But instead I choose to celebrate your life,

A life I still hold so dear.

I know you'd rather see me smile

Than stand here with tears in my eyes.

So I'll do my best to honor your memory,

And you'll live on as long as I am alive.
