Making everything perfect with her loving care
She’s an unselfish soul and always “there”
Under her wing is abundant warmth and comfort
She shelters with grace to avoid any hurt
Like a rose, her beauty shines forever
Unlike its lifespan, her love never withers
She exemplifies a rainbow, beauty of many colors
Bold for self confidence, pastel for helping others
She cares for people, before putting herself first
Her heart’s full of kindness, joyfully eager to burst
With a butterfly’s elegance, she floats from task to task
Her smile continues from early dawn to dusk
She’s a daughter, sister, lover and friend
A gentle spirit and shoulder unto the end
She’s an angel on earth; her spirit is divine
She’s a lovely blessing and truly one of a kind

my Mother-in-Law, who has
been missed for 20 years now,
a tribute to my sisters,
as they are wonderful Moms,
and to all the beautiful, hard-working Mothers
in the world~
Wishing you all a very Happy Mother’s Day!

Gorgeous, unrestrained ode to all mothers, Lauren! As a mother myself, I am a little weepy right now. I lost my own mother in 2000, but have my mother-in-law! I am especially thinking of my daugher-in-law, the mother of my two precious grandchildren!
Thanks, Rose, and I’m sorry you’re weepy; I was earlier when I talked to my Dad. He was pretty reserved, to say the least. Even through the tears, I wish you a wonderful celebration. xx
Beautifully written, beautifully thoughtful.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Oh Lauren if this isnt the most beautiful heartfelt thanks to all the mothers …..
how wonderful to be blessed with such lovely mothers guiding us and showing us how to be like them….Our mothers gave us the most beautiful gift just being there for us …
A big hug 🙂
Thank you so much, Soma, for your loving comment and yes, just being there was most important…hugs to you, too! xx
Like the twist on the rose use.
Thanks, Carl!

This is just beautiful and you should be proud. D&J and I drove to the cemetery today and although I did not have the poem with me, I did talk
to Mom about it- I am sure she was smiling. Love Dad
Oh, Dad, you’re going to make me cry! Thank you and I know Mom was smiling! We’ll miss her, but she’ll be in our hearts~ Love you, too!
What a wonderful job you have done writing this touching tribute Lauren. I also saw the post from your Dad–I have to agree–your Mom is smiling. God Bless and remember the love that is within you–a gift from your Mom. Love, Jeannie
Awww…thanks so much, Jeannie, for such a loving and kind comment…I wish you a wonderful Mother’s Day, too! Love and hugs!

Thank you, Red, and I wish you a lovely day, too! xx
Happy Mother’s Day Lauren!!! Very beautiful poem here. Sorry for the sadness because of the recent loss too. Considering that you have a big part of her in you, she must have been an AMAZING woman. God bless forever
Thanks so much, Scott, and for your complement to my Mom. She was a wonderful woman and we’re missing her today, but also celebrating the beautiful woman and Mom that she was…Hugs and Blessings to you, too!
Lovely thoughts. Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Thank you and I hope you had a wonderful day, too!
Belated Happy Mother’s Day Lauren! This is a touching poem, tenderly written from a loving daughter’s heart! I too share your loss, I still miss my Mom 12 years ago this year. Now, it’s my beloved Mom-in-Law who is on and off in the hospital from a suspected malignant tumor of the pancreas. I’m praying it’s not cancer, and for the pain to subside when the pain killers are withdrawn.
Thanks so much, Cynthia, and I guess we’ll just be exchanging hugs for both of us! And, I will keep your Mom-In-Law in my prayers, too…My Mother-in-Law passed away 20 years ago at the age of 59, so she was young, but still missed to this day…awww, those tough times in life, right? Well, take care and hugs! xx
Lovely tribute to your mother and mother-in-law, Lauren. (Sorry I didn’t read this in a more timely way – still just catching up here!) Thank you, Lauren. 🙂
Thanks so much, Betty, and please don’t worry about reading each post! I am now always behind and I think we just have to do our best…I appreciate your kind words, though, always! Have a wonderful weekend! xx
This is absolutely beautiful! ‘Ofa lahi atu xox
Thanks so much, Maryanne, you’re a sweetheart! xo
You have a beautiful way with words! Happy Mother’s Day, though I’m late!
Oh, thank you, Pauline, and no worries with being late! 🙂
Was working on the book of 48 stories, editing and compiling! A fellow blogger helped me with the covers so I’m so happy to have it done! Will get onto another book now.
