Mother's Death

M y mother died when I was fifteen months old O h how my heart hurt when I called her so bold T o heaven her soul did soar_ leaving her children H ere on this earth, with lives now so totally barren E each day I wonder why so young she had to go R easons I will never know in this life though S atan did his work in destroying family D evil stirred the father to drink, compulsorily E aten away was his heart from the loss; Granny A ttended five children's needs, extra for baby T o family members word was spread_ youngest given H ome by adoptive family; but this for child heaven

Hi Sara - My Dad passed away almost 8 years ago. I still miss him. But at least now I have a guardian angel to watch over me. Your Mom watches over you. Congratulations on your WIN in Walayee's contest. Best wishes, KC

Oh, Sara, I'm sorry you lost your mother so young and that your dad didn't provide care for you. This is so very sad. I stopped by to congratulate you on your win, but am truly moved by this poem. Love, Carolyn

sad recollections here Sara, i extend you my sympathy, it is a good piece as well especially your recognition of the bad effect on familiy i e drink e t c, that is where a good half of societys problems lie damage to sincere familiy values. i can see you are strong in the best way,despite the attacks.
