I
want to thank Paula from Collinsville, Arkansas for sending us this poem to
share this Mother’s day-she said it was sent to her by a college friend, after
her little boy Jeremiah boy died in 2010.. She noted that author, Jody, is a
mom 4, her beautiful girls in heaven and her beautiful boys on earth. We wish all our moms a peace filled Mother’s
Day…Cherie Houston
A Mother’s Day Wish From Heaven
~ by Jody Seilheimer ~
Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to 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 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,
Memories 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 as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know 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.
