The hearts of one's left and gone

Robert Pippen 1981 (Jackson Mississippi)



In realms of love, where memories reside,
On Mother's Day, our hearts confide.
Though they're gone, their presence lingers near,
In cherished moments, ever dear.

With gentle touch and loving embrace,
They shaped our lives with warmth and grace.
Their guiding light, a beacon in the night,
Illuminating paths, oh, so bright.

Through laughter's echo and tears we shed,
Their spirit lives, in our hearts they tread.
Like fragrant flowers in bloom, they stay,
Their love eternal, come what may.

In every sunrise, their radiance gleams,
In every sunset, their wisdom beams.
Their tender whispers carried by the breeze,
Reminding us of love that never ceases.

Though time may pass and years unfold,
Their memory remains, a story untold.
To mothers gone, yet never truly apart,
We hold you close within our heart.

On this Mother's Day, we send our love,
To those who dwell in realms above.
Your presence lingers, felt in every way,
Forever cherished, come what may.
