Happy Mother's Day (To Someone Special) Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

I know a special woman
A wonderful mother to her children
A wonderful friend, I met along life's way
I couldn't imagine life without her now
not for one second, in each long day
I've seen her heart, in her stuggle...we've talked
but she makes no big deal
and doesn't like to say
but she longs for her mother
in Heaven far away

My heart goes out to her
and I give her love in my own way
and she knows this, feels it and smiles
because we help fend for each other
In thought and spirit, if not day to day
Not a moment goes by when I don't wish
We could sit together sometime
and share the moments in a day
I'd surely give her a hug and a kiss
before going on my way

But here's the thing I wanted to say
You're mother somewhere is smiling
At peace, and not so far away
You can feel her a bit in the simple things I say
She feels your care for her when you pray
and is by your side and not in your way
as you yourself mother your children
the best you can, with love, as they run and play
You mean so much to many, more than they say
And most of all it means much to your mother
Until you meet in peace again one day
She's so proud of you!
Happy Mothers Day! !
