As I bring you flowers on this special day,
I am hoping you will somehow hear what I say.

Mom, I understand that God blessed us with a mom as special as you
I am fortunate I know, the Sandy's in this world are too few.

Please forgive me for thinking life just wasn't fair
Taking you away so soon, why were you not one He could spare.

I miss everything about you, mostly your laugh, and your sweet gentle smile,
I would love to hold your hand for just a short while,

I just want to thank you, for all you have done for me,
To be half the woman you are, is what I strive to be.

For now I cherish your visits those nights as I sleep,
Like you've never left at all, these are the memories I will keep.

As I turn to leave after speaking this last word,
I know that you are with me and I know you have heard.

I love you Mom
