Mom

Mom I’m proud to be my mother’s son Her last-born child, the youngest one Her strength I draw with every breath She fills my heart, long after death Her kindness, loyalty and love will stay She guides my path here every day Her laugh and smiles were second to none I’m full of pride for all she’s done She filled my life with love and joy I’ll always be, my Momma’s boy Her memory I often share with others She was loved and cherished, by me and my brothers Grown up now with kids of my own I’m thankful for the path I was shown She gave me life and made me strong In my heart, she will never be gone Mother-Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France Written: 9/18/2020

Hi Mark, Beautiful, you brought a tear to my eyes. I was very close to my dad, I was Daddy's girl, but boys love moms and girl's love dads. I also loved my mom very much but my dad was just a special human being. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you very much, I hope it was a happy tear and not because of my horrible writing skills.
