"mommy, I have things to tell you small things and big things, things only you will understand." Quote by _Constance just the other day I came across a picture of you with your horse and I was amazed to see how much we look alike could it be true that you are just words upon cold stone oh, my quiet, beautiful and kind Jacqueline it is unbelievable you left this world just after Mother's Day now, entangled, meshed, intertwined are our souls for eternity the meaning of love and so much more is what you left with me and I am so proud to be the daughter of one such as you mommy, not a day goes by that you are not in my heart especially on each Mother's Day oh, how my heart is shattered and my thoughts are scattered with sadness for your sad death and the day of your last breath I recall that sweet May day with the songs of birds so gay after- I strolled in the blue where a bird came (I think was you) I promised to plant you a garden bright with flowers swaying and birds in flight each May- I will do this to honor you I will plant a garden calm and tranquil oh, how my heart is shattered and my thoughts are scattered _________________________ May 14, 2023 Poetry/Free Verse/For My Mother, Jacqueline Copyright Protected, 05-1547-310-14 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France

Beautiful tribute to your mom, what a picture to find of her, so peaceful, joyful, and full of life, that smile says it all and the horse , the connection of love : ). Wish you a great day , one can only imagine the smile she had when you were born: ).

Wow. She was a beauty. What age were you when you lost her. This is a lovely tribute. Thanks for your latest contest and all the inspiration you bring to us poets.

When we lose our Mother, we become an orphan ~ the loss is irreparable. A deep, sorrowful write, Constance, penned masterfully, as only you can.
