    Poem Commentary

    Growing old we turn back in time .Loving those who loved us brings comfort to there souls. We continue in life through a circle of love they left us.

    The first face

     The first face I saw was hers
    She held me my little hands
    She'd sing the songs
    Grandma sang to her
    Bringing comfort to my soul
    She made me feel
    I was the best
    No unearthly scorn could inter her nest
    She'd Hold my hand when 
    When the big bus came
    My first day of school
    Between the sheets hug on the line
    She smile watching me play
    Leaves piled all in a heap
    Raked high just for me
    Making sure I was safe
    She'd make good things for me to eat
    Showered me with her love
    When night fell she tuck me in
    Kiss my little cheeks
    It is now my hands
    That tuck her in
    I kiss her little cheeks
    For it was her love that showed me how
    To comfort her soul
    When night falls
    I'll sing her songs
    That moma sang to me
    When Jesus comes I want her to know
    How much I love her so
    I'll be there like she was for me
    My face she will see

    It is very hard. They seem to slip away in mind . She misses my dad a lot. He is gone now.

    I dedicate this poem to my mother who loved me so. She hung the sheets on a line. When parents love their children ,the love comes back . Sorry about the typos.
