This is perfect... Love, grace, beautiful rhyme and some of the best meter ever...

My mom will be gone 37 years on September 3rd.

It's surreal isn't it?

Your mom was a blessing to last throughout your life.

You will reunite, joyfully!

Oh Karenina, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this lovely review for missing mom. And now I would like to share the sentiments with you as you go through this next week. So appreciate the six stars, dear friend.

Thirty seven years made you pretty dang young. So you were another seven years younger than I was. I am so sorry as I was thirty eight at the time I lost mine. Both of us way too young. Did you ever feel that for sure you would die at the same age? I always felt like I would.

God bless you, my sweet friend and please read this next week on the day, as I dedicate it to you. Love and so many hugs! Debi

Thanks for sharing it with me. I will read it again on 9/3.

I was 33 when I lost Mom and YES...I'm seventy now and every day I wake up and think I've already had ten years longer living than she ever got the chance to...

I wish she could have met her great grandchildren.

She was especially bonded to Michael, with his handicaps.

He treasures her memory and misses her still, though he was just short of seven when she passed.

I always say no matter what our ages, when we lose a parent we feel like an orphan...

Very moving writing...

This poem, Missing Mom, is a touching and well-written poem that speaks to your loved and three-decade departed mother. It is important to keep her memory alive so she will never seem far away.

Thanks so much, Bill for this kind hearted message for my mom poem. But sometimes we just need that one day a year and that is all it is for me.
So thanks again, dear friend. Love, Debi

Debi,
Your poignant poem is sad( I'm sorry you lost your mom at such an early age.
I feel the same way about my mom who passed 6 years ago.
You brought out the feeling I feel at her loss.
Beautiful photo, Debi.
Faith is wonderful knowing you'll see your mother again some day.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Hi Debi,
yes, I know, it's been a moment, but I'm here today... and how lucky for me I am and that I have the privilege of reading this beautifully written poem to and for your Mother.

I do believe that most of us would want that 'little bit' more time with our dear Moms. For me it would be to reinforce not only my love and appreciation, but just that special time to say and do the things I should have when I had the opportunity. But alas, one can't take or turn back time.

A true pleasure to read... it sat in my heart.
I know you will be thinking of all the good times shared with your dear Mom, Debi and that brings a smile to my face.

Just beautiful dear friend... beautiful!

With our thoughts we create...
a thin veil.

Warmest regards,
James.

Oh James, it is so good to see you again. And thanks for the kindest comments regarding my missing mom poem. I appreciate the six stars to go with this lovely review. I figured that many would be able to relate as you have.

I know everyone misses their mom and others and this just happens to be one day a year that bothers me. So thanks again, my dear friend for caring.
Love, Debi

This truly is beautiful. And it applies so magnificently to my own Mum. I hope you don't mind me borrowing this one and offering it to her. Every now and then as a writer, you come across something you wish you had written, this is such an example. Thank you.

Wow. I lost my mom, never holding your feelings about it, she's interacting more now, than flesh. She brings me luck, with the slots machines. Her favorite at Atlantic City. I, always, loved my mom: once it was clear to me: whom she was?

LOL, you are a bit of a clown, arean't you, TPAC, my mom did love the gambling a little too, but we didn't go anymore after she got sicker.I was hoping this would help others to relate with their mothers too. Thanks for all the kind words for it and telling me your experience. Love, Debi

It is hard when we lose our moms, Debi. I miss mine also. Sorry the anniversary day was difficult for you. It's good to look to the future where you and your mom will be together again. Blessings. Carol

Hi Debi,
It's not easy to lose a parent. Well, it's not easy to lose anyone you're close to, even a cherished pet. We had to put our last cat down yesterday afternoon. It wasn't that long ago, we had 2 Cairn Terriers (Willie and Gracie) and 4 cats (Roger, Chico, Ray and Angel). Ray was the "Last of the Mohicans". So it was a difficult evening for us last night.
I'm sure your mother enjoyed your poem.
Here's my favorite verse,
"I need to tell you how I miss
Your love, the hugs, your gentle kiss
I know you hear me when I say
I long to have just one more day"

Nicely penned!
Big Hugs,
Kimbob

It's a lovely poem, Debi for your late, Mom. That's how I feel every single year on the 20th of August for my late adoptive father. We were as close as could be, so I know exactly what your feeling. I was 17 when he passed away. I enjoyed reading your poem. Ulla xcx

Hi Ulla, I was hoping this would help others to relate with their mothers too. But wow, your date is only one day from mine. Mine is August 21st.
I will think of you for now on each year when I think of mine. I was actually in my twenties when I lost mine, so I really am sorry.
Thanks for all the kind words for it and telling me your experience.
Love, Debi
