On this International Bereaved Mothers Day, my heart aches with yours,
For the precious children we hold dear, who now reside in distant shores.
My beautiful daughter Amber, your spirit dances free,
Amongst the monarch butterflies, a symbol of eternity.
Hedgehogs, our family emblem, now hold a sacred place,
In the garden of memories, where your laughter still does grace.
I'll always be your mama, though you're beyond my sight,
In every whispered breeze, you're my guiding light.
Through Huggable Hearts, your legacy lives on,
A testament to the love we shared, long after you've gone.
Purple, the color of royalty, now draped in skies above,
Ruby, your birthstone, a symbol of enduring love.
Our totara tree, majestic and strong, grows taller every year,
A reflection of the bond we share, a love that's ever dear.
To all bereaved mothers, whose hearts ache just like mine,
Remember, you'll always be their mama, through every tear and line.
Take time for yourself, be gentle, and be kind,
For in honoring your own heart, healing you will find.
On this day, and every day, let's make memories last,
For our beautiful children, our love will forever cast.
