Losing Paradise.
For my most precious Mother who has passed on:
She was Jacqueline Kennedy
and Marilyn Monroe,
As lovely as Garbo
or Bridgitte Bardot.
She was Mother Theresa
a most gentle saint,
She became Clara Barton
when I felt ill, or faint.
As smart as Al Einstein,
as kind as St. Nick,
she was here 60 years
but they went, oh, so quick
She could generate smiles,
she could bring me to tears,
many storms crossed my face
as we weathered those years.
She offered times shared
some that I left unused,
visits missed, calls not made
but she seldom accused.
She loved without compromise
she died all alone,
I'd give up all that I cherish
just to once go back home.
To feel those sweet arms
and those hugs that I've missed.
all the grief that I've lived with
chased away with her kiss.
If you still have a Mom
and she's somewhere alone,
find a moment to call her
take a day to go home.
It will bring so much joy
with so little in cost,
lest someday soon you join me
here in paradise lost.
