Poems by Vickie Kendrick

A Place in Time – for Mom

She brought a smile to those she had touched,
For in her heart she loved us so much,

So often her laughter a thought and a wish,
Remember, that day she gave her first kiss.

A place on the cheek- a pinch and a hug,
A slap on the bum- for good measure, please come.

A place to remember- to Mom’s house we go,
A place full of love of this would be told.

She talked until morning of days that had past,
No sleep for my eyes I pray I could last.
Remember the child, remember the time,
A day yes a thought that memory of mine.

A place in the hearts of those that would love-
My mother’s love was a gift from above:

Sweet Lord please remember my one thoughtful wish,
To always hold dear those hugs and her kiss.
