Mom Haiku: A Rose in Heaven - Open Call for Mother's Day

Rate: 20 Flag

untitled Red Rosesd and lillies For my Mom 

 

The mother I miss

Sits high in Heaven above,

Smiling down her love.

 

My ideal mother,

My friend, mentor, example.

In her arms loving embrace.

 

Taken far too soon,

I wonder what would have been

If you were here now.

 

Your great grand children,

Bearing your's and our dad's names,

Your legacy lives.

 

So much love for you

This day which honors your gifts.

Happy Mother's Day.

So nice, that you are one of Rose's petals. :-D

Thumbed. HMD (albeit a bit early) Cathy.
Lovely, Cath! You have a fine gift for the haiku. Beautiful tribute and a HMD to you though a bit early.
Every day is mother's day! Never to early to be a happy mom!
It's haiku Thursday, therefore, a HMD haiku for today.
Sometimes I jump the gun on celebrating happy occasions.
Very nice poetry. Beautiful images and thoughts of love.

That "what if" feeling that makes my heart hurt - you captured that. Beautiful tribute.
"A Rose In Heaven" I so love that! Beautiful and powerful.
Beautiful haiku... happy mothers day in the Northern continent! Rated
Thanks, all.
So easy to honor the mama.
An honor to do so.
Perfect poem for a perfect mother on Mother's Day. Thanks for sharing. Totzaon
Beautiful! Happy Mother's day weekend to you I hope you have a good one.
Beautiful, Cath, really lovely and touching. JK's got it right, do it while/if you still can.
I'm so sorry you aren't able to be with her in person this Mother's Day. The thing about a loving mom is that all that she gave you is inside you, always.
Very nice tribute to your mother, Cathy.

I'm a staunch non-beleiver as far as religion goes, but what I do believe is that our immortality lies in the hearts of those we touch in a positive way while we're alive.

It's obvious your mother's immortatility is alive and doing quite well.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day
That was awesome. I'm sure she was a great Mom and a wonderful person. Cherish her memories and share them often. Nicely done with the rose pics.
Rated & Cheers!
These are beautiful.
Should have read your blog before sending you an email. Love the haikus. What a tribute to your mom. She obviously lives on through you
My daughter's name is Rose and it's a family name. Nice to pass those names from generation to generation to remember and honor those we love. Happy Mother's Day, Cathy!!
So lovely Cathy. Thanks for this.
Okay, so this was last year . . . but I stumbled upon it . . . and it is lovely. You are such a treat!
