For Cathy

The mystery of a mother's love

is how it seeps both ways

from mother to child

and back again

as it does

in you
♥♥♥

♥♥

♥

♥♥
♥♥♥

as you

embraced

the occasion

to say I love you true

with the way you cared to be

the way you gave your whole heart

and now that you are in this place

feeling the loss of her here

I know the way will

unfold for you

as it must

in time
♥♥♥

♥♥

♥

♥♥
♥♥♥

but now

you may hurt

but I hope for you

the light will come soon

to recognize she's alive in you

and if you listen carefully she will speak

as she already has through your caring heart

that give to her when strength was gone

much like as a child she was given

all her daughter's sweetness

in a clear reflection

of her soul

♥♥♥

♥♥

♥

♥♥

♥♥♥

that walks

in your shoes

and has each day here

on this earthly plane and still does

as you carry forward the dawn of each day

that brings new light to this journey of our heart's creation
