IF…(Living In The Power Of Now)

Posted on February 5, 2013 by boomiebol

She would have been 70 today
I am sure she would have wanted to be celebrated, I think
I am certain we would have celebrated her, I assume
I am not sure about anything anymore
I have assumptions in all my certainties

If however you were here today
I would be living in the power of NOW
Here's what I know
I would love you HARDER
I would HUG you TIGHTER
I would cherish you DEEPER
I would celebrate you ALWAYS

My living in the power of NOW
Allows me to do it
If only in my thoughts...

So today and on the 8th
I will close my eyes tighter & make it last longer

HAPPY POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY MOM!!! YOU ARE ALWAYS LOVED EVEN NOW IN THE DEEP SILENCE OF DEATH.R.I.P. ALWAYS!!!

No matter where is she now, I still want to be with her everyday, and even in my thoughts. I have a big photo of her, facing my bed.

Thank you for sharing the great love!

Such beautiful words!
You have always been talented!
Very dear people would always be cherished. Those that go ahead of us always remind us to do the best that we can, while we still breathe.
Cherish those that you can now and hold each moment dearly as if each is a chance to leave a legacy.
Very lovely post. Mum must be smiling from above; poud of you!

May your dear mom continue to rest in peace. I’m sure all the angels are celebrating her big day today. I know…I hear all the party noise every time one of our loved ones is being celebrated up there. Not to mention – the confetti that’s been falling from the sky today

Lady D on February 5, 2013 at 7:52 pm said:

wow, that was so moving. I really teared up. I always forget to do these things, thinking my mom will be here forever. Poems like this is a reminder to take advantage of your time together. I will remember to hug her tighter. Happy birthday to your mom! and god bless you and may she rest in peace. You’re amazing!

So beautiful Boomie and I think we all can relate someone to this.
BTW, have you read “The Power of Now”?
stay blessed friend

  Oh I haven’t. Who is it by? I have been so slack and downright lazy in the book/reading dept lately…I wonder if blog readings count

    It’s by Eckhart Tolle. I’d actually recommend his somewhat newer book “A New Earth” over that one, because the newer one says all the same things as The Power of Now and even more. It’s not a book for everyone, but I feel it has a lot of wisdom.

    Thanks so much. I saw my gift via email. I really appreciate it, I have not had time to open it but I really appreciate it.

Boomie, this is beautiful.My Mom has recently been told that she will likely live less than 2 more years. My siblings and I are gathering around her, loving her harder, and cherishing her deeper- a feat since we all loved her awfully hard to begin with. Thank you for these words ,they really touched me..

  I am so sorry about your mom, I can’t even imagine what she or you and your siblings must be going through.
  
  I am so glad and thankful that you are all around her and doing what is most important , loving her. My heart, and prayers are with you, your mom, and entire family.
  
  Stay strong and blessed.
