A poem for mother.

Remembering Mom

By Kelly Roper

There are many things I’ll remember

About my mom.

How soft her hands were,

How her eyes sparkled,

How her smile lit up her entire face.

I’ll remember the hearty sound of her laugh,

And the tone of her voice when

Someone disappointed her.

But most of all, I’ll remember how I felt

When she said to me, “I love you.”

That was the best feeling in the world,

To know this very special woman

Loved me with all her heart.

Of all the memories that may dim

In the coming years,

That feeling is something I know

I’ll never forget. And I just want to say,

I love you too, Mom.
