Notes About The Poem

The Only Star For Me

The Only Star For Me
There’s a bright star in the sky and it’s called “Mothers Above” where angels gather to shine o’er us with motherly love.
~ Quote poets own ~
There's a star brighter than any other That is my irreplaceable mother Always kindly, caring, gentle and sweet Without her being here life's incomplete. Mother's life wasn't cushy, I knew full well Yet mom did not complain or ever tell Secrets from her heart she'd never discuss She just lived life without making a fuss. Mother was beauteous inside and out An earth angel was she without a doubt Raising five daughters must have been a task Working too with hardly time to relax. As are all mothers she was a bright light Shining for us every day, every night Now mom’s looking down from heaven above Still smiling, caring and beaming her love. *+*+* 11th November 2022 (Happy Birthday Mom - Date of birth 11th November 1920) *+* The Only Star For Me Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose

Yes Terry I’m one of five daughters, sadly we lost a sister this year to cancer. I often wonder how my mother coped with us, we must have driven her insane at times bless her. Thank you for the comments and congratulations… Belle
