Memories & Mother !

 
 
WHEN  MOTHER  CAME  TO  OUR  ROOM
TO  TUCK  US  IN  AT  NIGHT,
HER  FACE  WOULD  LOOK  SO  GENTLE
IN  THE  SOFT,  BEDSIDE  LIGHT.
 

AND  THOUGH  WE  MAY  NOT  ALWAYS
HAVE  BEHAVED  OUR  BEST  THAT  DAY,
SHE'D  LET  US  KNOW  SHE  LOVED  US
IN  A  VERY  SPECIAL  WAY:
 
 
AN  EXTRA  FOLD  TO  THE  COVERLET,
A  LITTLE  PAT,  A  HUG,
AND  WE'D  SETTLE  DOWN  TO  DREAMLAND
FEELING  SAFE  AND  SNUG.
 
 
AND  OF  ALL  THE  CHILDHOOD  MEMORIES
THAT  THERE  HAVE  EVER  BEEN
WE  LOVE  BEST  TO  RECALL  THE  TIMES
WHEN  MOTHER  TUCKED  US  IN. . .
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
                         LOVE   YA,    ~Barbara ♥♥♥

I said a prayer with my mom before I went to bed, when I was little.

How sweet to remember mom at the tuck-in moment.
This is a huge gift to your heart and is one of the main reasons that you are such a caring person today. :) My mama would fold that covertlet as well and wish me sweet dreams with a hug. I only knew my mama 14 years, but miss her every day. Thanks much for bringing that love back in focus tonight.

I miss my mom, and I wish I knew her phone number. Lol.
I lost her when I was 36, and I sure could totally give her a hug, and tell her she did the best she could.

Thank you for posting, it was so touching.
Hugs and blessings,
Sandy

This is so very touching and I am grateful for my mom and the tucking in at night plus all the other wonderful memories I have. Barb, I\'m sure our moms are smiling down at us. Every time I see a butterfly I think of mom working in her garden. Thanks for sharing this with us.
