"THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!
LORD, TODAY IS MOTHER'S DAY,
BUT MY HEART IS SPLIT IN TWO.
HALF IS WITH THE CHILD STILL HERE,
THE OTHER HALF WITH THE CHILD
THAT IS NOW THERE WITH YOU.
ALL THE LOVELY PRESENTS ARE A NICE SURPRISE,
BUT THE ONE THING I WANT MOST IS MISSING,
AND TEARS FILL MY EYES.
I KNOW WHEN YOU SENT HIM LORD,
YOU DIDN'T PROMISE HOW LONG HE'D STAY.
ALL YOU SAID WAS TO LOVE HIM AND
TREASURE EACH AND EVERY DAY.
BUT LORD, IT CRUSHED MY HEART
WHEN YOU CALLED FOR HIS RETURN.
I FEEL LIKE HALF A MOM,
AS I ACHE, WEEP AND YEARN.
BUT LORD, TELL HIM I LOVE HIM
JUST AS MUCH AS I DID BEFORE.
AND COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A WINDOW
SO HE CAN SEE THROUGH HEAVEN'S DOOR?
LET HIM SEE THAT HE IS MISSED
AND THOUGHT OF WITH EACH BREATH
AND THAT A MOTHER'S LOVE BEGINS BEFORE LIFE,
AND DOES NOT END WITH DEATH.
SO, ON THIS MOTHER'S DAY,
THE GREATEST GIFT, I GIVE TO YOU.
FOR LORD, I KNOW YOU MISSED HIM
AND YOU LOVED HIM, TOO.

I miss you SON more than words can express.
If I only had one more day!!!!!
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 stopped in to visit your stores for 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, where 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 the earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best,
I have done all that 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 ot for myself when she joins me for all eternity.
