My Star

I am the vessel used to honor your life on earth
I wonder how much love you took with you to heaven
I hear you say I love you in my dreams
I see your love through your brother
I want to hug you one more time
I am your mother

I pretend I can turn back the hands of time
I feel your love everywhere
I touch your picture to feel your presence
I worry if you miss me as much as I miss you
I cry when I cannot hear your voice
I am your mother

I understood God’s purpose for your life
I say I will see you again
I dream of being in heaven with you
I try to imagine spending eternity with you
I know I will see you again
I am your mother
