Sweet Memory

When looking at you I know that it’s true You resemble no other But your mother. You walk with a swirl And turn with a twirl You resemble no other But your mother. Your hair is one flame The colour the same You resemble no other But your mother. Your eyes deep and wide Green diamonds inside You resemble no other But your mother. Enchanting your smile It flows like the Nile You resemble no other But your mother. A heart full of gold So carefree and bold You resemble no other But your mother. You hear and you care Determined to share You resemble no other But your mother. [But now she’s gone far Tiny twinkling star In peace like a dove Departed with love.] And you my sweet girl You twirl and you swirl You resemble no other But your mother. ------------------------------------- Author: Paul Callus ~ March 2014 Contest: Poem For Mommy Sponsor: Leonora Galina Placing: 1st

Made me think of my Mama. I am very much like her...I wish I could be even half the woman she was. You've touched me with this, Paul.

I'm glad I evoked some memories, Eileen. I know that good and loving parents are hard to emulate, but we too have our good and salient points and may our children inherit lovely memories of us. [by the way...this avatar....woman in red ... is awesome:)] // paul

Beautiful poem. I have a philosophy that seed is of father planted in the land of mother, so a tree grows with the strength of mother. Very nice philosophy. Loved always, my poet friend, bl
