This tribute memorial poem Is collaboration between myself and Belle Bellevue - a new poet on Poetry soup. In respect to her late Mother. Today 11th November 2020 would have been her mother’s 100th birthday. Mother 1920 - 2008 Wherever I go, you go with me too, always bedside me, whatever I do. And I wouldn't have it any other way, I love you, need you every single day. You took care of me, with your heart and hands, till the tables turned and I took command. I did all I could, hope it was enough, for the mother, I loved so very much. I held your hand at our last sad goodbye, afore handing you to angels stood by. You're here in spirit till the day I die, and we meet up in heaven above sky. --------------------------------------- I see you gazing as white clouds go by, you struggle to smile, but you must try. Oh my love, please don't worry about me, I dwell in a place of divine beauty. It's never easy when loved ones must go, but maternal bonds live forever though. We have that place somewhere only we know, where in times of sorrow, we would lay low. Live your life until your heart is content, fulfill your dreams with determined intent. I hope we do not meet again too soon, my child, keep humming a sweet robin’s tune. “When a robin appears, an angel stands near.”

This is so beautiful. I held my mom's hand as she made her journey home. I love "I dwell in a place of divine beauty", I imagine that is where my mom is, and "You're here in spirit till the day I die", my mom's spirit is always with me. Thank you, for this heartfelt poem.

Silent One, many thanks for working with me on this memorial tribute poem to commemorate my late mother’s 100th birthday. To say I’m pleased is an understatement, I am more than delighted, I’m thrilled. The video is wonderful, every word and the music. Bless you, Belle

WoW! Silent, This is such a outstanding collaboration between you and Belle. Your pens mesh well together. When our loved ones are no longer here , they live on in our memories and heart. The lines “ It's never easy when loved ones must go, but maternal bonds live forever though.“ Tugged at the heart strings. Excellent job. Have a wonderful day. Ps, I’ve noticed that you have been apart of some amazing collaborations lately-Alexis
