Kim Merryman Poet Acrostic

My Mother, Laverne

Lady Laverne, loving mother and friend
A strong-willed, hard working woman
Victorious over her life's struggles
Earnings were scant but she managed well
Raising three kids on her own was tough
Nevertheless she never gave up
Eliciting the eternal love and gratitude of her children

Vincent Flannery March 25, 2015 at 2:41 PM Such a wonderfully descriptive piece and beautiful tribute to your Mother. It's a shame the later generations such as mine lost that can do anything attitude and nature. God Bless your Mother and I said a little prayer to the Blessed Mother for her. Take care Kim.
