I Know You Are Still In There Ma

The sparkle in your eyes and sincerity of your smile
The trust in your heart and awareness for a while
The flash back of memories and strength that you show
The determination, optimism and decision’s in a row
All tell me that you are still in there Ma……..

But then suddenly I see everything changes in the way
Fearfulness, insecurity and your teary eyes in the day
Your mood swings, forgetfulness, anxiety for a while
And your face with confusion without a glimpse of a smile
Even then I know you are still in there Ma………

I wish to show patience to help and understand you
I want to hold your hands, show love and hug you too
And hope I can learn to interpret your emotions call
And show empathy and care that you deserve above all
Because I know you are still in there Ma…….

I want to assure you that you are very special dear Ma
Our God has connected us in a strong bond beloved Ma
You always live in the depth of my heart, spirit and soul
And you are a source of my strength and comfort in dole
And that is how I know you are still in there Ma……

May God Almighty showers His love and mercy on you
May He shows peace and blessings rainbow hue
And may He gives you His endless miracles today
And fill your life with serenity and tranquility’s bay
This is my prayer as I know you are still in there Ma….

She helps me grow, prosper and reach great heights. Terri Guillemots ‘

Love you and miss your smile Ma
