To My Mother For Mother's of the World

Way back when the skies were blue I wish I could have somehow knew That after 4 there would be no more The reaper took you up out the door I never embraced mother’s day Another excuse to throw it away A shameful fact that is no lie Just another reason to get high I’m pretty sure today you can see I have become who I should be Everyday is another roll of dice I don’t gamble its not my vice What I do is give it all away Just another prayer I shall pray Lord for the mother’s everywhere A short simple meaningful prayer Never doubt within their fears A hungry child sheds their tears In our world so easily embraced Hard to imagine a Mothers face Who’s Child has not a pair shoes Dying from some unknown flue Only thing they really know for sure Death is going to be their child’s cure Sometimes the depth of what we write A world away in the dark of night Tears will become their only gifts As a child’s soul their angel lifts To these Mothers I pen this write Babies in heaven finally alright To my own mother I proudly say Mom your son turned out this way No need for greed or desire of lust Just a simple man doing, as he must A man forever planting his seed For those who are more in need I think we here in America often Lose how desperate some parts of the world truly are. I will be spending today in prayer for the Mothers who have nothing more than faith to give or receive from their Children. Always remember even in these troubled times your spare change can make a difference. May God Bless you all

You always make me cry lately. Your selflessness and empathy for others is overwhelming. Too beautiful. Just beautiful. Speechless here. Love, Shar

Michael, it is this selflessness, this compassion that makes your poetry great, and tell the story of God's amazing grace in your life ... I know your mother in her life must have left a prayer somewhere: O God, help my son thy he will live his life one day at a time ... and moment by moment in your care ... and your poetry shows that God heard: bravo
