Mom Memory

In Memory of Patricia Bender

A years gone by since we said goodnight,
Not a day goes by where I don’t feel your light.

The tears in the kitchen, the late night talks,
The calls home from College and the endless walks.

The cookies, the cakes, the caramel corn too.
I’m sorry I didn’t pay attention to you.

Your paintings and creations will continue to live on.
Yet I still can’t believe that you’re forever gone.

You were more than a mom, you were a friend and confidante.
There was nothing more that a daughter could want.

I miss you, I love you more than yesterday.
Let’s say goodnight and I’ll see you again someday.

Love always, alana feb 28 2009
