Maman ...

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers of the world!

I came across these lyrics some  time ago and my mind always goes to my dearest mother for they speak my heart!

My mother is still alive and I still see much sole in her eyes.  A stroke took her ability to care for herself and to speak some four years ago.  I have missed her greatly in these times;  I wish I had her to share, for we are now sisters in widowhood.

Enjoy and remember to tell your mom, just how much she means to you!

Mama, thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love, you sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed along the way

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you, yeah I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong, Dry your eyes

Cause I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you, I miss you

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed along the way

Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama

 

Indeed, Maman - Thank you!
