loving all the time
tender,
but fierce when need be
defiant
strong
of her own
doing without for her kids
to have all they could need
but forgetting,
we needed her more than anything
and leaving us too soon
still
hurts
now an angel
protective
I know she’s near
when the butterfly appears
watching over us
still
forever ago
gone.
Peace, Love.

    I loved the poems too Steve
    an understanding tribute to both as people and as their roles in your life,
    bittersweet.
