A Mother's Memories

The memories I share today
are of both joy & pain.
I am a mother who lost her son;
With memories I must sustain.

I sit alone from dawn to sunrise
remembering joys he brought.
And the tears it brings to my eyes ...
Oh and all the lessons he taught.

Today, I think of his first birthday.
And his hands all in the cake.
As I ponder on this precious memory,
it does cause my heart to break.

His laughter was a true assest.
To hear it made me smile.
His personality was surely the best.
So many memories all worthwhile.

Yes, the memories I share today
fill my heart with joy & pain.
Because I am a mother who lost her son;
With Memories to forever remain.

As he now walks the streets of gold,
I think of him each and every day.
Even though he is no longer with me ...
A Mother's Memories never go away.
