Notes About The Poem

Songstress Sings Songs

*Image of Mom Playing the Organ by My Family Pics. Songstress Sings Songs The Doxology chorus though widely sung owns a verse that accompanies, although, beyond seasons past, ought of considerable length be, my wholly FAVE song remained scarcely practiced by the Christian congregations, albeit, my mother, a gospel composer, having written many testaments accommodated songs citing directly from the holy scriptures and being a multi-talented player of musical instruments, such as; accordionist, pianist, organist, guitarist, drummer, and ukelele extraordinaire, enriched her abilities to create a fanfare of adored admirers long after her passing. Sobeit, a tribute to my mother and her once upon a time, kids of our former church who have perpetuated her visions in song as grown adults. His Name Is Jesus "There's a name you can call when you're in trouble, There's a name you can call when you're alone, There's a name full of Grace, There's a name to be praised, There's a name you can call every day, Je-sus, Je-sus, A name you can call every day, There's a name full of Grace, There's a name to be praised, There's a name you can call every day." *From a mom with Aloha... 2020 August 15 *1st Place* A spiritual wisdom download ~~Unseeking Seeker: Judged 2023 January 16

Aloha William! What a beautiful tribute to your multi-talented Mom. She truly planted her song in your heart and poetic spirit - a unique and special gift. My mom was also very musical. She was the first woman I know to have a Masters in music and I remember her singing, playing the piano and the guitar. Ke Akua pu. Mahalo for this lovely poem. Congratulations on your first place win!

Aloha to you too, Sam! I believe I may have stated that our moms are of the same mind and one accord--I'm glad that their talent in the musical aspects was truly a blessing, not only for themselves but also for the many others who've come to know them or of their works. A hui hou kakou! Aloha William
