Happy Mothers Day to All Moms, here and in Heaven.
This photo is of my mom and dad and little me.
I can not imagine a better mom or dad than the two I was given.
I believe we will meet again in Heaven one day.
The Watcher - Mother
She always leaned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate;
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us -
She never could forget!
And so I think that where she is,
She must be watching yet,
Waiting til we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late -
Watching from heaven's window,
Leaning from heaven's gate.

Beautiful photo and poem. Having a good and wonderful mother is a true blessing.
Happy Mother's day a few days late.
What a truly lovely poem! I am so sorry you lost your parents. They look like amazing people! The photo looks like a magazine cover! I hope you have some good memories of them. God bless.
Terra, I love this picture. It is such a treasure. I can relate to this post, as I lost my mom five years ago and really miss her at this time of year.
It sounds like you had a wonderful mom and dad.

I knew that was going to make me cry. But I loved reading it. My precious Mom's been gone for just over a year.
Beautiful poem.
Thanks for visiting. I now see, I've struck a gold mine. So much to read. The picture of your parents and you is like taken out of a post war magazine. How beautiful you all were.
The poem also portraited my mother. she went to heaven 2 1/2 years ago, and I miss her every day. I'm also blessed by all the usefull skills she taught me, the songs, the handicrafts, the sayings, the poems, the never ending love.
