To my mother on what would have been her 51st birthday if she was still with us:
(thanks for the dear friend that shared it with me)
~Happy Birthday Mom~
My Mother is so special to me,
a friend who was always near,
someone I could turn to,
to listen or shed a tear
I know I told you often
how much I loved you so,
but I could never tell you
as much as you should know
Now that you are gone from me,
I think of so many things
that I want to tell you,
but the phone will never ring
Happy Birthday my dear Mommy,
I send wishes to the above,
of the joy you always gave me,
the joy of devoted love

Hello,
My condolences on the loss of your Mother. My name is Jill Hoel, and I'm the author of the Happy Birthday Mom poem that is posted here. I hope it brought you some peace. I didn't start writing poetry until just after my Mother Joan passed away on December 17, 2004. That first birthday of hers after her passing (Jan. 9, 2005) was the hardest, and was the day I wrote this poem. Take care. ~Jill
