Ticking seconds
Marching minutes
Hurried hours
Optimistic promises
Passionate and determined
Thriving not surviving
Living in the moment
Seeking happiness and health
The ultimate gifts of contentment
Constant state of motion
Purposely moving forward
Never looking back
Nurturing, loving, and kind
She lived in a breathtaking house overlooking the mountains
Adorned like a princess with beautiful handsewn dresses she designed just for me
Mixing giggles and laughter as we baked sablé cookies
Magical tea parties for two
Girls’ time afternoons of pampering
Exquisite manicures and makeup
Summer after summer spent at her home
Treating me like one of her own
Lillie, my beautiful Aunt
I am forever
A divine comedy
I might say
Blessed with a heart of gold
A bit forgetful at times
May or may not remember
Mother’s Day this coming Sunday
If and when he does
It will be no later than Monday
Bearing flowers and sweets
He will be there in a heartbeat
But if he needs a subtle reminder
I’ll just call and say
Remember me
My favorite Son
Oops I forgot
I have only one
To live
To heal
To persevere
To smile
To laugh
To love
To travel
To explore
To feel
To care
To share
To give
To learn
To grow
To be
