A Mother Is..

A mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the
leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell
of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she
wore, she 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 is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep,
the colors of the rainbow, and she is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.
And she's crystallized in every teardrop.

A mother shows every emotionhappiness, sadness, fear, jealousy,
love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement,
joy, sorrowand all the while, hoping and praying you will only know
the good feelings in life.

She's the place you came from, your first home and
she's the map you follow every step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, But
nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not spacenot even death!

For those of you who would prefer to send flowers please feel free. If not, she loved her pets dearly so a donation to your local Humane Society in her name would be very nice in lieu of flowers.
