I'll Still Be Loving You - Reba McEntire : A Tribute To My Mother

A poem and a song for my mother......




As I Look Back
As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering.....
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?
For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgment, courage, and honesty?
I wonder if I've ever thanked you for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?
If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now....
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

I really love this picture of my mother : it was taken when she was 12/ 13 years old.
It brings out her beauty in a such a lovely way. With dreams in her eyes, not knowing all the hardships that life had in store for her. 


Her love was unconditional. She always had a smile, even in times of crisis. It was her zest for life that was so inspiring
 I really love you mother,  you will always be there in my mind,  and be my guardian angel.


Happy Mother's day to all!!!
I am happy to be the  mother of my two lovely children.

    Lovely sentiments! Mothers are so special, and we really tend to take them for granted. Loved this pic of your mom, so innocent!

    Very nice poem, Rama. And I am sure you're going to treasure your mum's pic forever. I love the pic taken with your children, I'm sure you've heard this before - you all look like siblings.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. I've been reading your posts - a few each day... just haven't been commenting yet.

    Thanks everybody.
    Emmy, I am surprised you love Reba's songs. I thought your favorites would be much younger singers.
    Le Cupcake, thank you for taking time off to read my blogs, it doesn't matter if you don't comment, just knowing someone likes my blogs is good enough for me.
