~A Rose For Mom~

I'm thinking of you especially today
And dreaming up a gift,
Something that will touch your heart
Yet, something I can give.

For, here I am so very far
Too far to bake a cake,
No matter how delicious
For you I'd like to make.



Too far to have a visit
And take you out to tea,
To sit together in a cafe
And share a special treat.

Too far to bring a present
And watch while you unwrap,
A gift that I could choose
Your room to nicely match.



Yes, too far for that delight
But, for you I found a pretty rose,
Representing how I feel
Just to let you always know.

My heart is with you Mother dear
With tender thoughts of love,
My prayer for you is somehow now
You will feel my gentle hug.



God Bless you today and always Mom
