Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

In memory of my mother, Jacqueline

___________________

Mother Was My Friend

Mother had me when she was just a young woman,
at birth I was her baby- then her girl;
                               but, things soon changed,
                                 I became-   friend.

We talked and shopped, gardened, laughed and we took short trips,
mother had an adventurous spirit;
we spent many long hours on country roads,
it was fun to get lost and find a special place.

        I often ask God why he took
        my mother, so young to Heaven?

                            But, still treasure
                              those sweet moments !
