Happy Mothers Day Mom!

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing you from Heaven,
and though it must appear
A rather strange idea,
I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit,
your stores to find a card.
A card of love for my mother
as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought,
every card you could imagine,
except I could not find a card
from a child who lives in Heaven.
She is still a mother too,
no matter where I reside
I had to leave she understands,
but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if I wrote to you,
that you would come to know
That though I live in Heaven now,
I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me,
we still share laughter too,
memory's our way of speaking now,
would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart,
her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me
sometimes far into the night.
She plants flowers in my garden,
there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents
trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark
though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way
to remind her of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honored
and remembered too.
Just like the children of earth
today will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark,
I know that you'll do your best
I have done all I can do;
to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her
how much she means to me
until I can do it for myself
when she joins me in eternity.

Love, Heather!

*You never said "I'm leaving," You never said "Goodbye,"
You were gone before they knew it, and only God knew why.
A million times they needed you, A million times they've cried,
If love alone could save you, you never would have died.
In life they loved you dearly, in death they love you still,
In their heart's you hold a place, that no one could ever fill.
It broke their heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone,
for a part of them went with you, the day God called you home.
