Mother's Day Without You

Memory is a country
Where I go to see your face.
But where do I go when
I want to feel your embrace?
You left us here like a ship in
The harbor ready to set sail.
Longing just to be with you.
The time will come to cast off
From the shore of all our fears
And set sail into the wild blue
Wonder of Heaven...
And there you will be standing,
Ready to guide our ship in safely.
Your face I will touch and your
Embrace I will feel!
For you will be there
Guiding us safely through the
Wild blue wonder of Heaven...

Marceline Naomi Atherton Altgilbers Jeffries would have been 92 on June 1, 2017.  She was 79 when she passed.  A strong, loving, kind and amazing mother.  I miss her so very much.  Today just seems extra hard with Pete being gone too.  We would have talked today.   He would have made it bearable.  We did that for each other.  We held each other up.  Made life bearable for each other.
Now life is just an existence at best.  I work, when my body lets me and I sleep.  Sometimes draw.  What more do I do???  Not much.  So what is the point?  There is not point.  None!
