- The cool, gentle breeze, my tousling your hair.
- The silence of night, my calming your cares.
- The bubbling of brooks, my chuckling laugh.
- The falling of rain, my giving you bath.
- The crashing of surf, my humming to rest.
- The soft fallen snow, my dear heart expressed.
- The mountains so grand, my strength in defense.
- The rainbow so clear, my diverse love blend.
- The colours of dawn, my courage so brave.
- The swaying of boughs, my comforting wave.
- The thunder so strong, my clap in delight.
- The stars of black sky, my protective might.
- The warmth of the sun, my kiss on your brow.
- The sound of the leaves, my whispered sure vow:
- That though you forget, my child so dear,
- All these remind you that mother is here.

Awww, thanks so much, Mary. I have another on Heavenly Mother, if you’re interested in reading it.
Did you post it on a certain closed facebook? I may have seen it. But heck, poems are meant to be read and re-read and then read again, so yes! I’d love to read it.
I actually have two others:
