Mother’s Day Poem for a Mom in Heaven

This is a Mother’s Day Poem written for my mom, Shirley Layne DeMumbrum Bell. For those of you who have lost your mothers you know that Mother’s Day is hard. If you are a mom yourself, you celebrate being a mom but doing so without your own mother isn’t easy.

My mom was only 51 when she died and not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. She was born in 1939 and died  of colon cancer in 1990.

Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven, Mom. I miss you still….always will.

One Thousand Thank Yous

If I had one thousand “thank yous”

I know just what I’d do.

I’d box them up with hugs and kisses

And send them straight to you.

There is no way I can repay you

for all the love and support you gave to me.

You were my biggest fan, my most loving critic

My lighthouse when I was lost on the stormy sea.

I miss your love, your laughter

Your kind heart and gentle touch.

I miss you every day, so very, very much

But I think I miss you most in May

When flowers bloom and mothers are honored

Every blossom, every Hallmark card reminds me

To give thanks to God above

For the years we shared together

And the power of a mother’s love.
