In Memory - a Collaboration
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.”
