My Dearest Mummy- Good For Mother's Day

MY DEAREST MUMMY or MOMMIE

A MOTHER'S DAY POEM-FOR MY/YOUR DEAR MOTHER.
REMEMBERING ALL MOTHERS.
A TRIBUTE TO A DEAR MOTHER.

WHO IS A/YOUR MOTHER?
YOUR/MY TEACHER, AND YET MY BEST FRIEND.

If she is alive, let her know
That You care immensely and totally.
And that when she's gone she will be profusely missed.
Dedicate to her a nice love song,
I can recommend- Wind beneath my wing by 
Bette Midler or Lou Rawls or Roger Whittaker.

Mine is dead now...but I wish she was still here
To celebrate Mother's Day with her loving son.
I'll Take her old clock and a fake cake by her grave with me.
And a daffodil or two, I am the child she loved.
I will genuflect at her grave.
I will go in the afternoon and stay till I feel
The frenzy in the beckoning call of the unfriendly cold evening dew
Warning me that it is about time to go
To leave and wander on my journey homeward
And to ponder upon sweet green thoughts of her memories
And celebrate her wondrous life and dedication,
Celebrate another soft kissing anniversary of Mother's Day.

Yes Celebrating, Recognising, and Honouring,
A dear, dear, dearest Mother and truest Best friend.
An extraordinary Examplar, and Greatest and Safest Pillar of Strength, Trust and LOVE.
At Times Tough Love Even.
We Have to forever Thank Her. Be Forever Grateful for her.
And That's All any Man can say.
Sometimes I still get a jam where I feel strongly like I need my Mom.
Mother, Always a Place to shelter in case a storm ever comes along.

We Used to call her Maa.
But deep inside we recognised that she would always be a star.

There is something candidly sublime about this lovely poem, love it. A FAVE for me.
