A Mother’s Day Tribute to my mom, Amy W.

The Time of Daffodils

By: Nancy W.

As the sun rises on this Glorious Morning--

I watch as Yellow Daffodils stir and look

Toward the glowing light,

Their Heads lifting in pride and glory.

I close my eyes and sink into thought

About the One Person I’m most grateful for--

I see the memories of our Times together that

We’ve had thus far, both happy and

Sad, angry and forgiving.

I hear her voice of many tones

As she articulates words of love, understanding

And counsel, words I consider priceless,

For she has taught me profusely,

Including the knowledge of  

“Who the best” Really is—

She is my Hero,

The Greatest of the Great and my Best Friend.

She is always with me.

I feel the wind on my face as I

Smile broadly and open my eyes to

Once more see the Yellow Daffodils,

Those same Flowers that make me

Think of you, my Wonderful Mater. (Mother, In Latin)

And I Thank You again and again

For bringing me into this Earth,

In this Specific Time,

so that I Say to you:

“I love you, Mommy!”
