Dear Mom,

I can not put your love into words

And the more I learn of your past

The more I realize

That I didn’t know you

Not really

You were able to see the depths of my soul

While I barely scratched the surface of yours

I would do anything to have one more day…

One more hour…

One more minute…

To see you again

You were stronger than I knew

braver than I could comprehend

Wiser than I wanted to believe

If God is unconditional love

Then I must admit

That I would have trouble

Distinguishing you from the Lord
