MOTHER'S DAY REFLECTIONS
MOTHER'S DAY REFLECTIONSSeems the last I remember,
you were small
and playing with toys.
How is it now you are grown up
And raising your own
girls and boys?
I remember your
Chatter and laughter,
As though they had Just filled the air.
I almost feel sweet little fingers
Tugging their way
through my hair.
What would I give
just to go back
to years so swiftly gone by,
To tell you more often, "I love you,”
to annoyances,
turn a blind eye.
More moments I'd speak
of our Savior,
To know you were sure of His love.
By grace, be a better example
Of His truths that
I often spoke of.
I'd lay aside things that don't matter,
To hear of your joys
and your fears,
To look in your eyes as you shared them,
to sympathize more
with your tears.
Those days have dissolved
Like a vapor,
But I still hold you close In my prayers.
I long for the glory
that's waiting,
to ever be close to you there.
