My Mother

My Mother's Love, is like the heat of the suns upon my face
My Mother's Love, fills me with warmth and grace
My Mother's Love, has always helped me find a happier place

My Mother's Touch, has an unequal feel
My Mother's Touch, always seemed to be able to heal
My Mother's Touch, turns problems into, no big deal!

My Mother's Voice, brings me a sense of peace
My Mother's Voice, seems to be there like an iron crease
My Mother's Voice, tells me to dream, not to give up, or cease

My Mother's Life, was more than that of a dash
My Mother's Life, meant more to me than any amount of cash
My Mother's Life, will continue as I tell stories of my past

My Mother's Home, is now not a place but a POEM

LOVE and Dedicated to Ilona Borg

I remember her telling me once, she had her tubes tied, yet in one of her tubes a baby started to be formed, and she gave birth down the road. After she told me that I thought to myself anything is possible and miracles do happen. Just one of many memories I wanted to share for my Friend.

I have many fond memories of you and the Borg family, as I am a friend of Christina's. Your love, energy, loyalty, compassion, kind-heartedness, and love of family has made a lasting impression on so many people. And most importantly, your wonderful daughter, Christina, has all these same qualities in her to keep your memories alive. You will be missed!! Love, Wendy (Walleen) Contes

You will always be remembered in my heart as a free spirit and the movie "Black Beauty" will always remind me of you. It was fun knowing and having you as a "sister". Love you and I know you are not far watching over your family and friends now as you did in your life. Love you, Miss you, see you on the other side. Metta' Denise & Bill
