Notes About The Poem

Mama

Mama

Mama, I think in only pictures, 
and fight for every word. 
I babble songs and stories, 
and dream I will be heard. 

My little toys I line up, 
in a big parade. 
I spin and dance to music, 
silent in a way.

Mama, hold me close, 
in your heart if not your arms. 
I can not bear your touch, 
but I do so love your charms. 

Papa, don't be sad for me. 
I believe I will be fine. 
God he has his hand on me, 
and keeps it there... 
all the time.

"I spin and dance to music, silent in a way." This explains so much and perfectly Ann!

I often prayed to have a moment in my kid's head... just a moment... so I might see just a bit clearer... the funny world we live in compared to theirs. God Bless you and keep you... Ann

Such a bitter sweet piece. You love them no matter who they are or what becomes of them.. It doesn't matter if they have a problem you will be there for them . Great piece defining a mother's love. God Bless, JB
