Mom’s Favorite Chair
Mom's chair,
now an empty vessel,
once held her warmth.
Her laughter still echoes
in the fabric,
her touch,
a silent memory.
We gather around it,
drawn to the comfort
she left behind.
This chair,
a witness to our lives,
holds us still,
in a gentle embrace.
We feel her presence,
strong, yet soft.
Her wisdom woven
into the threads,
her love,
a lasting imprint.
We sit, we talk,
we remember.
Mom's chair cradles us,
even now,
her spirit wrapped around us,
invisible arms holding tight.

Under the Old Oak Tree
Sunny afternoons,
beneath the old oak,
where we sat with Mom,
sharing stories,
asking questions.
The shade was cool,
the light dappled,
mom's voice, a guide
through life's puzzles.
She'd laugh,
we'd listen,
and the world felt right,
under that ancient tree.
Leaves rustling,
time stood still.
Mom's wisdom flowed,
like a gentle breeze,
we soaked it in.
Now, the tree stands tall,
its branches reaching.
Her lessons linger,
in every rustle,
every ray of light.

Teacups and Tales
Afternoon teas,
Mom pouring wisdom,
one story at a time.

her voice, a melody.
Laughter mingled
with the steam,
moments steeped in love.
Teacups empty,
but her tales remain,
warming us still.

The Selfish World
In a world that craves its own,
Mom's selflessness stood apart.
Her love was a seed, fully grown.
Where many sought to claim the throne,
Her kindness came from the heart.
In a world that craves its own,
Her actions, like seeds, were sown,
Pure gifts, a generous art.
Her love was a seed, fully grown.
Her light, like the dawn, was shown,
Even when the world played its part.
In a world that craves its own,
Her sacrifice often unknown,
Yet she gave, right from the start.

In every kind act, a chart.

Stories she told,
woven with her love.
Hands that held mine,

Dispelling every hint of gloom.

Bring warmth and light to every space.
Though years have passed, her voice stays near,
A tender sound I always hear.
