“You Live In My Heart”

Poem for my Mother

Rosalind “Bee” Harris

It’s my first Mother’s Day, that you are away.

Asking how I am doing, I will miss hearing you say.

My days are often lonely, with thoughts of you.

Bringing much sadness, and feelings that are blue

Although you are gone, and we are apart,

You are still here, because you live in my heart.

For some unexpected reason, you were taken from us

At a time when we still, needed you so much,

But God had a plan that we’ll never understand

He took you in his arms, and held your hand

I ask myself and others, where is my beauty of art.

Don’t worry Bee they say, she’s there in your heart.

You left behind to cherish, a legacy of love,

One that was created, by the only one above 

Family and friends, will forever miss your touch

But especially the smile, that we all love so much.

Fond memories of you, are not difficult to start

Because Big Ma, you are part of my heart.

I know one day, I will see you again

Erasing the sorrow, and much of the pain,

I miss you so much, and the times we shared

Laughing, joking and smiling, while just combing our hair

You are not gone, we’re just temporally apart

Because dear mother, you’ll always be in my heart

“I Live In Your Heart”

Message to my Daughter

Don’t worry BeBe, I know you are torn,

I want you to know, that I have been reborn,

I am wrapped in the arms, of our God here above,

Protected and cared, by his un-denying love

No longer should you tarry, that we are apart

I will always be with you, because I live in your heart

Big Ma…
