The Highlight of This Poem

Traveling with mom throughout Paris was an amazing and rewarding experience, As she truly was the highlight Of this trip. It is only natural that I dedicate an entire post to her and thank her for being my companion and accomplice On this great adventure. A mother is more like a journey then a memory. She is a living presence, she's the whisper of the leaves As you walk down the street. She's the cool hand on your brow When you're not feeling well. She's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day; she's the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. She lives inside your laughter and she's crystallized In every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home, she's the map you follow With every step you take. Nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space...not even death! I thank God for blessing me With a mother like her. She is the beating of my heart and I cannot now imagine a life without her. Thank you mom for these wonderful and treasured memories. Terry

Hello Terry!! Many Thanks for your earlier note to me on one of my poems!! Your latest poem here is beautifully-done with the discussion of your relationship with your mother. I can relate to your words here about your mother very much. It's also always a wondrous pleasure to hear from you. BTW, my second book of poetry is getting closer to formal publication and release. I will let you know when it's been released. Best Wishes Always, Gary

Terry, I am so happy to see you again with this beautiful tribute to your mother. I did know that you were so close with her. I don't recall you telling me much about her in the past. I would love to take my mom abroad. She wants to visit WAles, our heritage country. However, she is in Iowa, far from me. I am lucky if I can even get back to my home state to see her.
