Carmen

Can a child ever forget, how deep a mother’s love abides

All those days since birth, till now I’m grown she guides

Remembering her smile, so tender, so warm as her embrace

More than soothes away my pain, my fear of failure and disgrace

Even in my dreams she comforts, her voice, her scent would stay

Never will her being mother stop, till when I’m old and gray.

Yes, a good mother is a priceless gift, one which keeps influencing even after death. My mother lived to 93, and lived nearby. I was able to enjoy her company well into my seventies. A very nice Acrostic, Kim.

Thank you, Ralph. Your mom must be lovely, caring and a great cook too. I can still remember the unique and delicious scent that always somehow would come from her clothes. Appreciate much your visit and comment.

You have stored all the best your mother gave to you in your heart so that you may dispense it to others, so they too can be touched by the experience. The love that you hold for your mother is remarkable and so self evident in this poem. Emile. #7
