    Mother's day

    It will soon be Mother's day again. I lost my mom 17 years ago a week before Christmas. Here is a poem i wrote in her memory
    IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL: In the arms of an angel is the one that I loved
    She rose up to God's heaven above
    On earth she graced me with her love and care
    Losing her was so hard to bear
    In the arms of an angel, she is warm and safe
    Noone could ever take her place
    Her pain is gone, she is happy at last
    She will miss my future, but I will always have our past
    I feel her presence when I am down
    I can smell her perfume all around
    In the arms of an angel, she looks down from above
    And sees my tears and feels my love
    No matter how far away she might be
    She once said she would always be there for me
    She was kind and gentle, I miss her so
    It is so very hard to let her go
    In the arms of an angel is where she wants to be
    I am okay because I know she loved me
    Angels are singing, heaven joyfully awaits
    My dear mother j ust walked through the golden gates.
    To all Mother's Happy Mother's day

    Sonnetta, your poem is lovely. It made me think of my mama. I too lost my mama 17 years ago this past Feb. I miss her everyday and love her so very much.

    Happy Mother's Day Ladies Hugs and Kisses, Lynda

    Sonnetta, your poem made me think of my mother and how close we were. She has been gone for 14 years now, but she is still so near to me, in my heart. It is funny that you wrote ..."I can smell her perfume all around..." Right after my Mom died, and several times after that, I have smelled her perfume! My sister, who lives in Florida had the same experience. We both know she is watching over us.

    I hope all of you Mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!!! Mine was a little different ..... My son took me rock climbing!!! Here are some pics of me climbing a 40-foot wall!

    Mother's day-imag4988-jpg My Son said, "Give me thumbs up". I could only give him ONE thumb!!! LOL!!

    Here is a link to a video of my first descent. It is funny!

    We were tethered to an assist cable that helps you as you climb. Then, it lowers you slowly back to the floor. The scariest part was letting go when you reached the top. As you can see in the video, I didn't want to let go! We had a ball!!! A very unusual, but fun Mother's Day!!
