Notes About The Poem

A Mother's Day Poem

You loved me and accepted
                                    me, for who I am
                                  Loving unconditional
                                  I was your little lamb
                               And Auntie, though your
                                    womb was closed
                                No baby born as you'd
                                      once supposed
                               With the baby boomers
                                           boom
                                    No baby in your 
                                      nursery room 
                                     Yet truest love, 
                                     my Aunt to me
                                    The sweetest gift
                                      would ever be
                                  Your gift of love for
                                      each you knew
                                         Oh Auntie,
                                         your love 
                                        was so true
                                      Though you're 
                                 lifted from this sphere
                                        May angels 
                                         bout' you
                                    Close and near
                             Whisper in your precious ear
                               BJ adores you Auntie dear
                                A whispered "Thank you!"
                                       From this heart
                              Undying love cannot depart
                                   May these words lift 
                                           up to say
                                          Aunt Betty;
                                    Happy Mother's Day
                                             
                                                <3

Anisha Dutta May 3, 2022 at 9:17 AM I was blessed by great love of my Grand Mom She took the place of my Mother Love. Bj Legros Kelley May 3, 2022 at 11:16 PM Thank you for your visit, Anisha, your poem is so beautiful. I am glad that your grandmother was there for you. Sometimes a mother's love is emitted by others who didn't give birth to us, and these so deserve the honor of a loving tribute <3

Andrea Dietrich April 29, 2022 at 8:42 AM this is so touching, so gorgeous. What a tribute to your auntie!! Bj Legros Kelley April 29, 2022 at 5:35 PM Aw, you're so sweet Andrea :) She was an awesome lady. I'm so glad you liked my tribute so her. She was an amazing sweet angel on earth to me, now she resides with the angels, very fitting for her <3

Constance La France April 28, 2022 at 10:34 AM BJ, beautiful and touching Mother's Day tribute to your Aunt Betty and a fine example for your contest, hugs ~Constance Bj Legros Kelley April 28, 2022 at 12:19 PM Aw, thank you my friend, for your visit and your precious words to me. Hugs to you as well Constance, I hope you're having a beautiful day. You made my day a lot brighter by your visit and sweet comment <3 :) ~BJ

Beata Agustin April 28, 2022 at 1:40 AM Thanks for sharing this... delighting and delightful to the heart. I believe that your Aunt will be delighted with this. God bless you. Bj Legros Kelley April 28, 2022 at 10:06 AM Thank you, Beata, for your visit and uplifting comment <3 My Aunt was a dear, I was blessed to be named after her. She loved children, yet never had one herself. I think 'Mother' is such a beautiful title. I know beautiful women who have a high calling to children, a mothering instinct that provides love and care that may be lacking in another area of a child/person's life. My aunt had many nieces and nephews, children who were blessed by her. She had a mother's heart; such a kind heart <3 I'm blessed that you like my poem in honor of her :) ~BJ

I miss her terribly.

Valsa George April 26, 2022 at 5:09 AM I suppose Aunt Betty was more a mother to you ! A beautiful and heartfelt tribute to her, BJ Bj Legros Kelley April 26, 2022 at 11:53 AM She wasn't able to raise me, but she always was near. Her nurture was so loving and encouraging. I wrote another poem about her, it explains a bit about what kind of lady she was in "The Sweetest Gift, A Childhood Memory' which was about my dear aunt. Thank you for your visit Valsa, your words always encourage me, God bless you my sweet friend <3 ~BJ
