"The Spirit Of My Mother"

I had a visit from someone

It was the middle of the day

The type that took my breath

Yet made me want them to stay.

It was my mother stopping by to say

Son I'm proud of you

I never meant to go away

If you ever get the time to spare

Come and visit me

Because I'll always be here

It was quite a visit

After all these years

I was her first born

The guinea pig they say

Stood beside her bed when she went away

Felt her spirit make the final climb

I held her hand and cherished

Our journey through time

Can you ever really

Put a price on time

Tell me why it is

We ignore the clock that chimes

Is it ever possible

That we might find a way

To bring back a memory

One we want to stay

Maybe this is why

She came to me last night

Could it be the reason

That I'm basking in the light

The only thing that I truthfully know

Is that my mother

Just helped me to grow

I owe her everything

For the things I've been shown

She's a guiding light

And everything I've ever known

I forever cling to her memory

Work hard to be the man

She always wanted me to be

That's why I'm still here

And she is here for me

Just a dream or a spiritual visit?? I tend to believe the latter. Hope you enjoy !! :)

Dear DC, I believe she was/is. I have just recently been toying with the idea that perhaps this is all true and my vivid dreams of lost loved ones (rare and treasured) are maybe visits:) Thank you for another heart warming post. Beautiful as always.

I have just recently been toying with the idea that perhaps this is all true and my vivid dreams of lost loved ones (rare and treasured) are maybe visits:)

DC, like Anna, I have had several vivid dreams after loved ones have passed both human and animal. The most recent I wrote about was my dog Blondie who left this world 14 Dec. I was awakened by her like she use to when she was alive but she was more vibrant than ever before. That same day I got the call that her ashes were ready for me to collect. It was like she was letting me know everything was going to be alright and saying thanks before moving on. I will cherish that visit/dream (I believe visit) until I can see her in person again.

I loved your poem about you experience; these experiences bring so much comfort!

Jackie, my dear friend, there is no doubt about precious Blondie telling you good bye and that the spirits visit those that are open to it. There is comfort to be had, as long as we are open to the presence. It's nothing to fear, but tragically many deny this closure, and the spirits to be suffer from it. Bless you my friend. :)

DC I'm Wiccan. And we believe this is one of the many ways those we love contact us, when they no longer reside on this earth. I believe you saw your Mom. And your poem brought tears to my eyes. It is beautiful!

Hectate's, Wiccan is very close to my Cherokee spirituality. I was raised with abuse and Christianity. I have since accepted my indigenous being and choose to release the "old way" that so many choose to try and force on you. The spirits run deep through my soul. I welcome them all !! :)

I too am Wiccan and I know my mother, sister and wife all visit me from time to time to let me know that they are still around and that they care. Treasure all these visits, and even keep records of them somewhere, it could be enlightening.

You are blessed.

DC, it's a beautiful poem. And I too believe that our loved ones visit us. In fact, I have a picture that PROVES (at least to me and those that have viewed it) that it's true. My ex-BF and I were sitting together, and someone took our picture. When we got our copy of the picture, you can see the spirit of his mother standing behind us with her arm around him - It's uncanny. The detail is amazing. You can even make out her fingers.

God Bless.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words.....i wish i had them a few moments ago as i lit a candle in memory of my mother who left us 20 years ago tomorrow. They would have made a much more fitting tribute.

We have so much energy that we can move freely even after our physical death. My departed loved ones usually signal their visits with various musical genre so I know when their energy is present. I converse with them freely from time to time and it enhances my being beautifully. It took my mother many "earth" years to forgive herself for something I'd forgiven her for always. We had a lot of conversations and visits while she was deeply remorseful until one day I was cooking dinner, standing at the stove and she appeared in all her glorious beauty, happy and healed. I was pregnant with my youngest daughter at the time as so moved by her appearance it nearly took my breath away.

Your poem is very meaningful and beautiful, Defense Counsel, and I'm delighted for your encounter with your mother. We simply must pay attention to the energies that surround us to benefit from their glorious gifts. Thank you, my friend.

Defense Counsel. I just retyped a line 6 times that I started and restarted and decided it was so special and powerful my words could not do your poem justice. Having lost my own Mother about 8 months ago. I'll look forward to meeting her again. Funny with all the education and lessons life gives you the most special lessons, those most important, the ones that give you your heart and spirit come from your Mother.

Thank you

Wise Wizard, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm honored and touched by your words.

Thank you

This a very solid point you are making my friend. She will visit you Wise. The first time my mother came to me was only days after she went to the Great Spirit. I awoke and felt an odd energy in my room. I sat up and almost had a heart attack. She was sitting on my bed and had the same expression that she had when she passed over. I told her that she's not supposed to be here. I was a little frightened because it was so unexpected. I had been alone with her at the hospital and spoke to her for a few hours. I knew she heard everythingI said, by the movement of her eye lids. Anyway, she chuckled when I said she's not supposed to be here. She thanked me for being there and told me she was always "here" before she left. I'm glad that you were touched by my work. I sincerely hope that is has been helpful my friend. :)

The Wise Wizard

Defense Counsel, This poem has been very touching and provides enlightenment.

My son says one day. Dad, You know XXX ( my daughter) is just like you and I'm more like my Mom. I replied. Son Don't be that confused- The face you choose to put on is that of your Mother, It is like seven card stud. You are dealt two cards down then four cards face up. The last card is down. The four cards showing is your Mother, Those three "Äces" in the hole, All Me. We had a good laugh but he understood.

Defense Counsel: Thank you again. You brought light to a dark place.
