In Remembrance of Mother

I miss your warm smile

And remember your infectious laugh

I miss your tender touch

And the armor of your hug

I miss listening to your voice

And the well guided advice.

Just a funny though of you makes me laugh

When I long to hear your voice

I think of all the great advice

When I long to feel your touch

I give myself a hug

Your memory always brings a smile.

Just to feel again that thoughtful touch

Or the security of your hug

Would bring to my face a smile

And through the day I would laugh

When I think of the advice,

And the sweet sound of your voice.

I cherish the delicacy of your hug

And the warmth of each touch

I still remember the highs and lows of your voice

In the giving of advice

Although I miss you much, I can still smile

Remembering all the times we just laugh.

You will always have a voice

As I share with others your awesome advice

Stories about you will make them laugh

Your sweet personality will make them smile

Coupled with a caring touch

And a comforting hug.

Your legacy will live on through your advice

I’ll be sure to give it with love and a kind voice

Expressing the importance of a gentle touch

Sharing it with a rejuvenating smile

And seal it with a protecting hug.

Reflections of your smile and laugh

Give credence to your voice of advice

And I’m reminded of the power of your touch and hug.
