Happy Birthday, Mom! (I Miss You)

My mother's birthday is March 24th. This would have been her 75th birthday.
I wrote this for her from my daughter who is now 5 1/2. She was only 13 months old when my mom left this earth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have pictures of you holding me
When I was very small.
But it’s hard for me to remember
Even one of those times at all.

I’ve been told you loved me a great deal
And I was the twinkle in your eye
But now you’re gone; I only have
pictures to remember you by.

Please know that my Mom misses you
Every single day.
She wishes you were here right now
So she could watch us play.

I’ll never recall your touch or
The smile on your face..
But, Memere, I feel your love
Through my mothers warm embrace.
