My Mama’s Light

I still feel her hands, how they held me tight,  
Her eyes full of faith and love’s pure light.  
Tired arms, yet always keeping me near,  
A love so strong, more precious than all I hold dear.  

She never asked for anything, only gave her heart,  
Every day for her children, she played her part.  
Behind her smile, her strength silently grew,  
A power I never knew — now I feel it too.  

She was always there where help was needed,  
Giving comfort, never thinking of herself, unheeded.  
She wished only good for everyone she knew,  
And slowly her soul faded — life took her too soon.  

Every word, every hug, taught me to live,  
To hold onto values, and all the love we can give.  
True wealth is not counted in silver or gold,  
But in the kindness our souls can unfold.  

When I fell, she taught me to rise again,  
When my world shattered, she eased all the pain.  
Her voice still echoes deep within my heart,  
My mother’s light will never depart.  

She is my mother’s light,  
Shining even in the darkest night.  
When I close my eyes, I feel her near,  
Whispering softly: “Don’t be afraid, my dear.”  

I see her smile reflected in my child,  
The same gentle gaze, the same spirit wild.  
What she gave me, I pass along too,  
It lives in every act, in everything I do.  

If she could see me now, she would know,  
All she gave helped me grow.  
The love she left behind will never die,  
It burns in the sky above me…  
Forever with me.  
**I love you.**
