Sandra Catherine Lewis
It's Mother's Day again, and I'm trying to make it through, because this day reminds me, of all the things I miss about you. I miss your face smiling down at me, with love shining from your eyes. I miss the way you'd laugh at my jokes, so hard that it made you cry. I miss the touch of your dear hands, how gentle and kind they could be. And I miss the warmth of your hugs, and how, you'd wrap me up tight as could be. I miss the smell of your perfume, The way it lingered in the air. Sometimes I think I smell it again, and I get a sense that you're there. I miss the way you could always tell, when something in my life had gone wrong, how you'd talk to me until I felt better, your words soothed me like a song. And so I sit here once again, remembering these things I miss, and this year, just like every year, I make a silent wish. I wish that one day I'll see you again, whole, and safe, and sound. That you'll take my hand securely in yours, and for heaven we'll be bound. Really wish I could talk to you just one more time Mam. Cari ti am byth bythoedd Mam, Jodie xx
