Kiss of a Rose

Many of us recently celebrated Mother's Day and paid tribute to the unique one who gave us life, unconditional love, and/or an abundance of wisdom.

Through the years:

If her rose is still in bloom, pepper her with kisses all the day long.  If your flower is still in bloom, shower her with love all her days long.  Bask in the awesomeness of her beauty.  When her bloom has withered, cherish the fragrance in your heart all your days long.

I have been fortunate enough to have many mothers in my life, but my beloved is here no more.  There isn't a day that passes that I don't think of her.  She was a hell of a lady and could raise as much hell.  She is missed.

There is song by Jennifer Hudson that makes me cry.  It's makes me think of her.

Still Here

You looked at me and saw what I never could see
You made me be more than I thought I could ever be
And when I needed a friend you were always there to lift me up to make me strong

You're not gone your still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

It's because of you I knew how it felt to be loved, Oh?
You made me feel beautiful cause you believed I was
And I will never forget how you touched my life
You made me feel like I belonged
You'll live on

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
Oh?
You're my life
You'll be in my life
You'll be part of me
I'll just think of you and you'll be?

Still here
With me all the time, Oh Lord
Still here
When I close my eyes
I feel you
And we'll never never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart
