Bonnie shared with me how she used to say, “kisses in your pocket,” before sending her daughter off to school. Her story reminded me of the many things my Mom did for me, such as sending me off to school with candy to make my day a little sweeter. This poem is offered as a tribute to Moms everywhere.
Maybe there is someone in your life who needs a “kiss” from you today.
“Kisses in his Pocket”
She placed kisses in his pocket
And sent him on his way;
Reminders of a Mother’s love that helped him through the day.
Whenever he felt lonely, whenever he felt sad,
He’d hold her kiss up to his lips and things just weren’t as bad.
Those precious pocket kisses are memories he can hold.
So dear, and yet, so far away – the child has grown old.
And though the Mom that put them there is with the Lord above,
He still can taste a chocolate kiss and thank God for her love.
