A short poem for my mom.
When I speak love, I am talking to you
When I listen for love it is you who I hear
We spoke each other’s language
Even when there were no words
I want to find one more I love you
Your life was something I could sing
When I speak love, I am talking to you
When I listen for love it is you who I hear
The love we shared will never diminish
Even when I too have gone
Flowers will continue to flourish and fruit grow
Life that surrounded you will live on
Your love was like sunshine
It warmed me to my core
Your love was like water
And it will keep me moving on
You held so much hope in your heart
You shared your true self with me
You gave me the perfect gift of your love
And my soul will always remember
When I speak love, I am talking to you
When I listen for love it is you who I hear
