All through my life
You were there
Loyal, devoted, true
Hungry, you nursed me
Helpless, you cradled me
As an infant, you nurtured me well
Inquiring, you taught me
Excited, you encouraged me
As a child, learning from you was my joy
Rebellious, you prayed for me
Unrepentant, you chastened me
You were a steady rock in my turbulent youth
Wandering, you anchored me
Unsure, you counseled me
Away from home, you continued to light my path
Impatient, you reasoned with me
Discouraged, you buoyed me
As a father, so often I sought your advice
Now I'm a man
Career and family in hand
And the sure hand I relied on is gone
But I know who you were
I know how you lived
And though I wish so much you were still here
I'll be loyal and true
To the example you've been
I promise my children will know you in me
Mom, I love you
Mom, I miss you
Mom, I'll see you again someday

Clarence I am alittle slow in finding this. What a wonderful thought that this poem is about your mother. I think of you all so much and of the memories of your mom and dad. Your mom has meant so much to me over the years. I am glad to know that you take your memories with you. What a gift! Missing you all and especially your mom. You are all in our prayers!
