Dear
Mr. Hallmark,
I
am witting to you from heaven, and though it might appear.
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I
just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card.
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There
must be some mistake I thought,
Every card you could imagine.
Except I could not fine a card,
From a child who lives in heaven.
She
is still a mother too, no matter were I reside.
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's
cried.
I
thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know,
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother
so.
She
talks with me, she dreams with me, we still share laughter
too.
Memories are our way of speaking now, could you see what
you could do.
My
mother she carries me in her heart, her tears she hides
from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night.
She
plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells.
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their
pain as well.
So
you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth.
I must find a way to remind her of her wondrous worth.
She
needs to be honored, and remembered too.
Just as the children, on earth will do.
Thank
you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best.
I have done all I can do, to you I'll leave the rest.
Find
a way to tell her, how much she means to me.
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.
