A MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE

Poem Commentary

I wrote this for my mother one year when I couldn't afford to buy her a present on Mother's Day. It turned out she loved it, framed it, and treasured it more than any present I could have purchased.

A MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE

A MOTHER’S DAY TRIBUTE


   No matter which life chapter,

With every page I’ve turned,

I find a lesson, verse, or phrase

From my mother I once learned.

 

She’s probably never realized

She was sowing little seeds

That would grow into my values

From the simplest, smallest deeds.

 

From the cool cloth on my forehead,

To just knowing she was there,

Emerged the ability within me

To give, to love, to care.

 

Her Southern grace and charm

Instilled respect and pride,

Sharing laughter through happy times,

And my tears the times I cried.

 

On each new page of life,

These words I strive to see,

Grace…honor…respect…love

My mother’s legacy.

MOTHERS ARE DELICATE ,AND PURE ALWAY A PLEASURE TO VIBES ABOUT MOMS,EDNA SHAW IS ALWAYS LOVE,,STRONG BUSS TO ADD TO ALL THE SPECIAL BUZZ..

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
