He Looks A Lot Like You
in I Miss You Poems
On a crowded street I saw him
On a corner close to home
His walk was long and steady
He wore your style of clothes.

Quotes by Jac Judy A. Campbell
Stories
Oh my! That was so heart-warming. As I was reading, I started remembering many of the same qualities in my own mother. I lost my mother 2 1/2 years ago to Alzheimer's. It was a horrible time for us 5 kids. We lost a little of her each day, until God took her home.
This poem reminds me of my mother. She loved planting flowers, especially roses. That was one of her greatest joys, and one year she grew beautiful roses the size of a 2 lb. coffee can lid. One day I took a picture of her holding a pretty yellow rose, and as I snapped the picture she moved the rose in front of her face, being silly, and we could not even see who she was. That's how big she could grow roses. That year when the roses withered and died, she did too! My mother passed away two years ago, but to this day her beautiful roses have continued to bloom.
That is a cute poem! Sounds just like the silliness children try to pull. My children would try, then they would remember if they were sick they had to stay in bed all day, no television, no phone, drinking lots of water.
That tells it like it is. There are so many divorces and separations, and the kids always suffer the most. Having their world changed in the blink of an eye affects them deeply. We have four grandchildren who were devastated by the divorce of their parents, never to gain solid ground or cope with childhood issues. Their minds were confused and their hearts broken. It doesn’t matter how peaceful or pleasant, the effects are tremendous. It’s a shame adults can’t put their selfish needs away and think of their children’s welfare.
This poem was so heartfelt I was hoping for a happier ending, where the author would have found his mama and known what it was to have her loving arms around him. But now he has a son of his own and can pay forward all the love. We don't know why our lives can be so devastating, but at least he has accepted and moved on with a peaceful attitude. GOD knows best for us all, and he keeps us in his loving arms. ~Jac Judy A Campbell
