written to my adopted mother Muriel Durost
I cannot look at you, Mother;
without a huge smile on my face.
All the many, precious memories of you;
and your warm, loving embrace.
I can’t think about you, Mother;
without a tear in my eye.
How you accepted as your very own;
this crazy and wandering guy.
I can’t be near you, Mother;
for the miles that keep us apart.
But you must know what a special place;
you hold within my heart.
I can’t begin to tell you, Mother;
of all you mean to me.
Your hugs, your love, your many prayers;
leave me speechless as can be!
I can’t look at you, I can’t think about you,
I can’t be near you, Mother;
You’ve blessed my life in a million ways;
you truly are like none other!
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30
