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 ♥♥♥

Barbara, this is very heart felt, and heart warming. the very special memories you have, of your mom, and these special moments, are gifts to your heart, to always cherish, and treasure. This journal touches my heart, and I want to thank you for sharing with us here on Daily Strength :)
I said a prayer with my mom before I went to bed, when I was little.
Love, Angela
My mom did this when we were small. This is very nice.
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.
This is beautiful Barbara. I lost my mom 6 years ago, and this brings back fondest memories. Thanks! :)
I also have nice memories of my MOM. I even dream of her and my dad alot. I always wake up happy after dreaming of them. Nice journal today barbara.
Love you GF..
