The love ones are never forgotten. May she sleep with immortality.
Jayne, I plan to use this poem in my upcoming June 2023 Showcase of PH poems to which I gave 5 stars 'recently'. bri : )
I think another comment has been sent and I sent five stars with it. Surprisingly, three other comments I sent in the last 10 minutes are already appearing below!

'A loving smile, lights up your face.' Lose the comma, Jayne! (just a suggestion, madam!) ;) Everybody (maybe) should write a poem about THEIR 'mum'/mom. 'We' call some flowers 'mums'.
A beautifully written endearing poem celebrating the memory of the special love bond enduring between mother and daughter, which remains a treasured memory enriching life.
A beautiful tribute to your mom! Moms are always so special! Thanks for sharing.
