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. 26 March 2015 Contest : Acrostic on Mother's Day - 1st Place Sponsor : TAMMY REAMS

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.

And even beyond the years you are old and gray, she will be looking down from heaven loving you. This is perfect, Kim. And I love how you rhymed it

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
