Barbara Ann Leonard

Your Mother

Although you cannot hear her voice

or see her smile,

your mother walks beside you

as she did before.

She listens to your stories

and wipes away your tears,

she wraps her arms around you

and understands you fears.

She isn't visible to see with the human eye

but try to talk to her spirit will reply.

You'll feel her love in your heart

because although she has left her body

your souls will never part.
