If I had one second, one minute, one day, what would I say
I’d wrap my arms around you, say I love you, kiss your face
I’d take your hands, hold tightly, draw you in and hug you tight
As tears roll silently down my cheeks, so thankful, shared your life
I’d look into your eyes once more, so you’ll see the love from me
To show you all within my heart, to thank for everything
You gave me strength to face my days, you fixed the things so wrong
You replaced the worries in my heart, you gave my life best start
We’d sit and chat for hours, into early hours morn
We’d have such fun on holidays, there when my children born
A pillar of strength you always were, rely on I could do
I miss you more than anything, my life is lost without you
You may not pass my home each day, I cannot knock your door
But everyday I think of you, each second heart yearns more
I pray each night, I fall asleep, I meet you in my dreams
I meet you by Red roses, in God’s garden you meet me
It’s here we sit and chat away, hold each hands so tight
I’ve shared with you my troubles, you’ve made all things alright
When I wake, my pillow wet, from tears, I had to leave
But I promise you, I will be back, next night within my dreams
This poem is written In memory of my amazing, beautiful and truly inspiring mother in law Pamela McClelland who taught me that no matter how much or how very little you have in life, to have family you will always be blessed, loved and rich in life.
Happy Birthday Pam
Love you and miss you everyday
