My Protecting Mama

Mama please comfort me I'm your little child. Please protect me from the dreams I have that are so wild. Mama thanks for being there when I started first grade. You were my comfort and stay and came to my aid. Then there was middle school You were always there, thanks for being so cool. Jr. high came and went without very much of a vent. Then there was high school and college. The period when I had ALL the knowledge. A college grad. you were so proud. I always could hear you bragging so loud. Life has a way of passing by And now mama you are the apple of my eye. Although ageing you are beautiful still. And day by day I know you are very real. You need to spend more time with your little child. And protect him from the dreams that are so real and wild. And when you need me oh mama dear, Know that your child will always be near.

We who were blessed with a loving and caring mother are the luckiest of children.. And a mother who is blessed with a loving son counts her self as the most loved of women. Lovely poem. Thank you for your kind remarks. Love, Joyce
