Sonnet From Your Daughter
One of the things in life I hold most dear
Is to hold a picture of you against my heart
To see your smile, a beauty to me you do appear
It brings you near to me and we’re no longer far apart
You made me laugh, taught me strength and love
We shared a passion for the sea over cups of clam chowder
Now you cheer me forward as you watch from above
I hear your lips whisper encouragement ever louder
Your Mother’s love still helps me through all strife
Memories are many of us walking together hand in hand
You are now gone from my side in my earth bound life
But mom and daughter still travel across the land
I’ll keep your wisdom with me deep inside and show no fear
Until I reach heaven’s gate where we will meet for another start
