Sweet Mother

Sweet Mother..
You have brought me into
This world..
Sweet Mother
I took my first breath of life
You were there
As my teacher
You taught me well
Sweet Mother
Your love for me
Always..
I cried
You wiped my tears
My days filled with sadness
Your embrace of comfort
warmed my heart
My protector you were
Led me out of harms way
Fond loving memories of Sweet Mother
Memories all captured
Remains in memory
Until last breath of my physical life
Disengagement from this world
I shall continue fond loving memories
Of Sweet Mother
Now I glance into your lovely eyes
Blankness exists 
Gaze is lost
Sweet Mother
I ask
Do you know who I am?
Confusion shapes form
Responding occurs
Answer is no..
My heart breaks into
Millions of pieces
No comprehension exits
No recognition exists
Sweet memories gone
On your part
An evil has taken over you
Sweet Mother
Name of evil
Dementia
Taking solace
I do
Peace of mind
Yes..
Sweet Mother
Your higher mind 
Hears me
Sweet Mother
Your higher mind 
Knows me
Our bond
Our connection is eternal
Evil Dementia shall never
Interupt our sacred connection..
Sweet Mother
I Love You...

Vladislav Raven February 28, 2018 at 5:56 PM Hi Robertina, a lovely tribute poem for your mother. What pain to see no recognition from the one who brought you into this world. I can feel that pain through your words. Yet the hope of love is also there in your words. A poem of deep emotions. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX
