A Mother’s Day Poem Written by Carol Carbutti, owner of Comfort Keepers of Wallingford, CT

By Carol Carbutti

Mommy! Where are you?

I see your broad reassuring smile in the face of my Hospice client

Your half opened glazed eyes in my dementia prospect

The memory of your hearty laugh tickles me at senior bingo

Mommy! Where are you?

I see your tears of loss in my widowed senior resident

Your determined stance in my hip rehab hopeful

The memory of your love warms me at family gatherings

Mommy! Where are you?

I see your confused expression in the face of my Alzheimer innocent

I’m warmed by the loving embrace of a family caregiver’s thankful hug

The memory of your loving support helps define my career choice of caregiving

Mommy! Where are you?

I see you spying me every day in my mirror

Your approving wink bolsters my efforts to live life to the fullest

The memory of you nourishes my mothering style
