[title] => Happy Birthday, Mom - Part IV: Precious As a Flower
[time] => 2019-08-02 20:40:46
[hometext] => Dedicated to Agnes Greene-Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013. (Note: I wrote this poem in 2016.)
[bodytext] => It was wonderful to have a mother who was so great. If you hadn/'/t died, today you would/'/ve turned sixty-eight. When you became ill and died, everything went sour. But while you lived, you were as precious as a flower. Pink was your favorite color so you were buried in a pink dress. I lost you when you died but while you lived, I was truly blessed. Nobody could/'/ve been a better mother than you. You were one in a billion and that certainly is true. When you became ill, I wanted you to get better but sadly, you could not. I had to learn to live without you but I still miss you a lot. I told you how much I love you during your final hours. Happy Birthday Mom, while you lived, you were as precious as a flower.
