Mother's day poem

Cathy is the love of my life
in all her glorious splendor,
She now lives in my heart and mind
and I will miss her forever.

Cathy was a mother, like all mothers
with tender loving care,
She devoted herself to everyone else
and always gave more than her share.

I see the world differently
through the cloudy lens of sorrow,
I sit in darkness till twilight
with no plans for tomorrow.

life and joy at a sudden stop
with the passing of one so dear,
Happiness and laughter dissipates
like rain in the valley of tears.

I now understand sweet sorrow
and what those two words share
Memories of sweet times with Cathy
and sorrows too hard to bear.

I have always realized
that passing is part of life
We all face that ultimate end
amid our struggles and strife.

Life goes on in this world
And watch as passers by,
Father time relentless march
ignoring our bootless cries.

We as mortals on this earth
posses a common attribute,
God gave us the gift of love
encouraging us to distribute.

Cathy was the embodiment of love
and nothing more need I say.
So I'm extending hers and mine
this...... Mother's Day.
