This Mother’s Day came & passed in a whirl
Focus on brunch, lunch or some kind of bite
Were not in the forefront this year
Our thoughts started there but,
Plans of celebrations changed with coming family news
An engagement for Candice was announced & off we went
We said our toasts, and cheers to the couple Saturday
Seeing her strength, happiness, stature, & grace
All reminiscent and reminders of you
Grateful for time Sunday spent together reflecting on the new page
Seeing our togetherness comes in many forms
Learning again, Family is defined in different ways
And that Love comes from countless places
You would have been very proud to call her, us, your own
We kept a token, flowers, roses from that cherished moment
And as life goes, they have already begun their change
A subtle hint that the pages must turn
This page is now ear marked though
So that you, we, can look back forever more
Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
I Love You
