You've worked hard all your life, <br />you've worked your fingers to the bone. <br />Never once, do I remember a time <br />that you even complained about taking care of your own. <br /> <br /> I remember one time, when we went camping, <br />our tent and sleeping bags got soaking wet... <br />You found a way to keep us dry, <br />all night, with an electric heater you set. <br /> <br /> Never understood or really appreciated (until now) <br />how you managed...but you always knew. <br />The most INCREDIBLE things <br />that only could have come from YOU! <br /> <br /> The things you've done for us... <br />you make it hard to fill your shoes. <br />You were such an incredible mom <br />even to our friends it wasn't news! <br /> <br /> I would love to make you a promise <br />that in everything in life, I will try <br />to make it a better place, as you did, <br />but all I can do is cry. <br /> <br /> When you passed away, Mom, <br />the biggest part of my life has died. <br />You being here with us, FOREVER, <br />is what my heart has always relied. <br /> <br /> In everything you've done in life <br />you did it with a passion that would never cease. <br />Your work here is done Mom. <br />Now you can finally rest (in peace) . <br /> <br /> Mommy, every tear I cry, <br />I will cry for you. <br />The flood of tears that is spent, <br />on missing you, can't even <br />express the sadness in my heart! <br />My heart will forever ache because I love <br />you so much. I can't believe you are gone...<br /><br />cecelia warner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dedication-to-mom/
