Mom

My post today is not my own...it's a poem that someone I know came up with out of the blue after my mom passed away.... It hits a nerve and home all at the same time.....

I did not say I love you everyday, I did not always agree with your ways. I did not shape my life around your vision nor did I allow your influence to penetrate my fortress...
But regardless I loved you the way the leaves love the rain. I loved you the way the snow loves the cold. The way that I can never love again. We will be together someday and my love will be the same. It won't lack, it will still have the same personality. Mine and yours in one! I love you mom and I miss you!
