Notes About The Poem

The Dressmaker

The Dressmaker

A woman with overflowing kindness, patience and vigor
All- in-one: a dressmaker, sewer and a tailor
Devoted herself unselfishly to her family and neighbors
Her endurance and sacrifices are up to the core

A woman of household light, a very good wife
Her divided attention and care was sometimes our knife
A great mother and granny denouncing our strife
You’re brothers and sisters-her kind words are rife

A woman who seemingly doesn’t know how to rest
On siesta hours,  late at night…still stitching at her best
Sewing draperies, garments, repairing them the least
She’s a great dressmaker and mom who’ll not turn down a request.

Paul Callus May 22, 2016 at 8:45 AM A mother never stops being a mother! A lovely and fitting tribute to your mother, Leonora! Apart from being a teacher, my mum was also a very good dressmaker, but in those days it was taken for granted that in big families the mother had to be capable of making ends meet by using her talents. Big hugs to you:) // paul Len Gasun May 29, 2016 at 8:51 AM You are right my dear friend Paul. A mother is always a mother. Thank you so much for your precious time to visit my work and your encouraging comments. Sorry for coming just now coz I was super duper busy and this weekend, still. whew!

Anne-Lise Andresen April 7, 2016 at 2:45 PM - Beautifully written to your mother dear Leonora - My mother worked as a "dressmaker" before she married my father - She made many beautiful clothes for us when we were kids :) - hugs //Anne-Lise :) Len Gasun April 8, 2016 at 8:00 AM Thank you my dear friend, Anne Lise! Wow! Your mom was also a dressmaker like my mom. We told our mom to stop and have her break but still, she wants to have a sewing machine wherever she goes. Then we found a cute musical sewing machine. I bought it and I composed a poem for her.Thanks a lot for stopping by.

Tim Smith April 7, 2016 at 11:16 AM She must be one proud Momma to have this dedicated to her. Parents will sacrifice everything to provide for their children. Len Gasun April 8, 2016 at 7:42 AM We read this to her and she liked it, my dear friend, Tim. We're going to send it to her along with a cute and beautiful musical sewing machine toy. She will love it, I'm sure. You're right. Parents make a lot of sacrifices to their children. That's what our mom did when we're still young. However, we can't stop her until now, lol. Thanks a lot for stopping by.
