A Mother’s Love In memories, I see your face, A smile that lit the darkest place, Your love, a flame that burned so bright, Guiding me through life’s plight. Though you’re no longer by my side, Your love remains, my constant guide.
Elegy for Mom Silence now, where once your voice, Filled rooms with joy, made my heart rejoice, Your absence leaves a gaping space, A void that time cannot erase. Yet, in my heart, your memory stays, A bittersweet reminder of happier days.
In Her Footsteps I walk the path you once did stride, With every step, memories abide, Of laughter, tears, of all we shared, In your footsteps, my heart is bared. Following the trail you left behind, I find my way, through the darkness and the shine.
A Garden of Memories In the garden of my mind, A bouquet of memories, forever aligned, Each petal a moment we spent, Each bloom a laughter, each scent a lament. Tending to these flowers of the past, I keep your memory forever to last.
Mom, My North Star You were my north star, guiding light, In your love, I found my way through the night, Though you’re gone, your legacy remains, A compass in my heart, pointing me to love and pains. Forever, I’ll navigate life’s seas, With the lessons you taught, the love you gave me.
Love Beyond Time Time may take you from my sight, But in my heart, your love will ignite, A flame that flickers not with sorrow, But burns brighter with each passing tomorrow. In every breath, I’ll remember you, In every dream, your love shines true.
The Lessons You Taught With every step, with every fall, You were there, to help me stand tall, You taught me to love, to forgive, to be, Lessons that now, in your memory, are set free. In the classroom of life, you were my guide, Helping me learn, to walk with pride.
In Your Absence The days are long, the nights are cold, Without you here, a part of me grows old, But even in absence, your presence remains, A shadow of love that still sustains. Though you’re not here to hold my hand, In memories, our love will forever stand.
A Tribute to You A tribute to you, a mother so dear, A woman of strength, of love, of tears, In your honor, I stand tall and proud, Celebrating the life you lived, the love you allowed. Your legacy lives on, a beacon of light, Guiding me forward, through the dark of night.
Forever in My Heart You may be gone, but not from me, In my heart, your memory will forever be, A bittersweet reminder of our past, A celebration of the love that will forever last. In every sunrise, in every starry night, You will be with me, a guiding, loving light.
A Mother’s Gift The gift of life, the gift of love, You gave to me, sent from above, Though you’re no longer here to share, Your gift of love remains, beyond compare. In the silence, I hear your voice, A gentle whisper, a heartfelt choice.
When Memories Call When memories of you come calling, I answer with tears, with a heart that’s falling, But even in grief, there’s a beauty to see, A life well-lived, a love that’s been set free. In remembering you, I find a way, To keep your love alive, every single day.
