Thinking of Mom.

As morning washed over me I took a moment, a thought, time...
a child who was no more then a burden now thirty-nine,
never once did I take the easy way, she knew it wasn't me
son off to college,my baby now 13, dose she see?
I found true love, a wonderful wife, and planted my tree
I washed away my sins took what life gave me and let it be,
happy and humbled loved and looked to some one I want to be,
now theres no here to say there proud of me.

Robert Allison Date: 11/27/2008 9:30:00 AM Nice poem, thanks for sharing. I fortunately still have my mom (sadly 300+ miles away) but have lost my dad - of whom I wrote a poem for. You think your parents are gonna be around and when they pass on, its heartbreaking. Login to Reply

Carrie Richards Date: 10/9/2008 9:20:00 AM I could really indentify with this poem. My mom died when she was only 46, and all these years later, I still long for her to see what has become of my life. She never knew my children, and now they are grown. What I would give to see how wonderful her grandchildren are, and feel her arms around me again. A touching poem, Michael. ~Carrie Login to Reply

Sharon Winter Date: 7/22/2008 5:41:00 AM I know that feeling. It's sad and empty and one we must live with. Perhaps somehow they are near, and know. This one so tugged at my heart. Love, Shar Login to Reply
