The fresh air surrounds me entering all my senses
Delicate grass touches my ankles soft yet sturdy
Memories flood my total being__the grief...despair
When they laid my mother to rest, no understanding
Only fifteen months old how could I understand death
Everytime I come here emotions flood my soul
Should be a lovely place of solitude to enjoy
I will try to make it so today for there's beauty
Who placed the fence here to separate me from mother
Weep my soul for her....separated from her now..here
I'll leave these flowers sit awhile remembering
The emotions that connect to her even in death
From this grave she reaches out to me in spirit still
I am glad they chose this mountain site with the view
How could they have known that it would restore my soul now
Someday soon I will see you again in person...my mother
poking and prodding
you pushed,
till limits had no meaning
all this you did,
with a comprehension
that I was found,
but thought I was still wanting
beyond our stage,
there was a deeper measure
being poured
I saw as the cup
consumed,
but could never see
what was poured,
my curiosity blinded me
I had gotten too close
to your mystery
even when we fought
I loathed every clash
it was when your pain
became mine,
and exasperation
called my name,
that my first revelation
revealed itself to me
our roles had reversed,
and were acted out
in the theater of life
I was your doppelganger
in all but sight,
my tongue curled
around vowels that mimicked you
but when I checked my cup
it was ever empty
when your final call
drifted across the ground,
and eternity was late,
I finally realized all along
you had tried to show me
it was I,
who filled your vessel
my cup now runs over
and I can never thank you
this was our last revelation
~~~~~
You brought me into a world,
of mystery and wonder
in imagination
you sheltered a child
when all others turned away,
always growling
at glances of derision
you gave me the gift
of knowledge,
so that now, when I use it?
I make you immortal
and within each stoke pressed
I illuminate the page with my love,
it now reflects, to bewitch the stars
they sway and rain down
on my gift for you.
never forgotten
and ever blessed
my revelations shall continue
until …
I have written you a galaxy of tributes.
As i walk up the long hospital corridor, unknown in my mind whats ahead. I am approached
by a string of nurses, who aren't long at finding me a bed.
I am then brought up the stairs to the delivery suite, and after nine months of carrying you,
finally we get to meet.
Words can't describe how i felt when i held you for the first time. I remember looking in to
your tiny little face overwhelmed that you where mine.
My baby girl with a head of thick black hair. I never knew i had it in me to feel so much love
and care.
I'll never forget those tiny little hands and feet, and the way people stopped to look at you on
the street.
The months went by so terribly fast, and those wonderful memories are now in the past.
You didn't crawl long until you knew how to walk. It amazes me how quickly you learned
yourself to talk.
Now as i sit here remembering those things and the way you grew and grew. I find it so hard
to believe that you have just turned two.

Today, loafing on the porch I reminisced about yesteryears,
Recalling Mom's admonitions still ringing in my ears!
As a feckless youth I let them go in one ear and out the other,
Alas, paying little heed to my long-suffering Mother!
"Stop slamming the screen door! You're letting the flies in!"
"I'll box your ears if you pull that silly stunt again!"
"Get that dog outta here! Can't you see he's full of fleas!"
"No, I don't have money for that! Money doesn't grow on trees!"
"The children in China are starving - now clean your plate!"
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better be home by eight!"
"Were you born in a barn? Now please shut the door!"
"Wipe your feet! Can't you see I've just mopped the floor!"
"Bundle up good or you'll catch your death of cold!"
"Things would go better around here if you'd do what you're told!"
"You sass me again and I'll wash your mouth out with soap!"
"I don't know what's to become of you - for you I have little hope!"
"Quit jumping around! A cake's in the oven! You'll make it fall!"
"Finish your chores, young man, then you can play some ball!"
Those admonitions have stuck with me through all these years!
(Come to think of it - some have pierced my kids' delicate ears!)

For who is this poetry destroyer
A cop, but who else would employ her?
As she spies no end
No poet, she pretends
Vanilla ice in leopard skin fur.
You ask If I want mommies hug
wouldn’t that be nice, lovely and snug
You just want to hold me
Under that great oak tree
And kiss me on your picnic rug
You want the vultures to enjoy
My sweet flesh, is that your ploy?
Wanting to be them
Eyeing up my sweet gem
Tell the truth, you just want a toy boy
Well our future together would be bright
Injets, pens and cartridges in sight
You’d color me in
Goodness what a sin
As I would always do the best write
Hang up your gloves as your are weak
You are also classed as an antique
A low blow I know
Don’t cry, don’t go
You can come back with a new technique.
If I don’t hear from the poetry cop
I will know I have come out on top
Good bye little girl
Give us one more twirl
Now, this should be the final full stop (.)!
P.D, this is the first one ive done. Took me a while. Very good fun though. I kind of limit’s
the write.
Year after Year
Season after Season
Holiday after Holiday
I shower you with the finest of gifts.
Little ways of letting
You know how much I care
This year I thought
I would celebrate your birth.
By writing these verses
Full of Sincerity and Purity
Love and Honesty.
In my eyes you are a treasure.
You are like a precious Stone
You are a Pearl among all Pearls
I can swim the deepest Ocean
And among all the rarest of Oysters.
I would never be able to find
A more Radiant and Unique Treasure
You are a diamond among diamonds
There are Rubies that are sold for millions.
But you are a Ruby amongst all Rubies
You are priceless
When I think of you
I think of all the laughter
Fun and moments we share.
You are that friend I rely on
That comforts all my sorrows
That wipes away all my tears
You are that angel.
That gave me wings to fly
Confidence to overcome
Encouragement to face my fears
To me you will always be
The greatest of all treasures.
Thank you for being
A Wonderful Mom.
I wish you would live forever?
No one in this world can ever
replace your kindness you give me.
Your smile makes me laugh so free.
Tomorrow if I cry, you would hold me tight
If I were ill, you would care for me till I was right
Oh my dear mother how I love your gentleness
You give such a joy of strength and tenderness.
I dream you could stay with me for infinity
my words can never express my sincerity
you are my best friend forever this night
the heavenly stars will shine ever bright.
Oh my mother ever so remarkable
that is why my world remains durable
the angels can never take you away
I pray that you will live long ever days.
When i first opened my eyes,
i was in search of you.
You made me smell on earth,
when i was just a fallen dew.
You are the one,
who never let me cry. Provided
me food,
whether the weather is wet or
dry.
With the first scratch of
crayons,
i drew my first picture.
Unknowingly i drew some
scratches,
which resembles you, my loving
mother.
On the first cycle learning day,
in the lap of daddy,
i did su su on her shirt,
but he looked so happy.
The first fever of 102,
had taken their smiles away.
I have noticed,
they cried all night,
until i was okay.
The first day of my school life,
was also a great day,
both mom and dad was with
me,
thats why i felt so gay.
Thus the life's journey went on,
now I'm a lad of twenty.
When i remember those days
within,
i feel I'm not within me.
You are my love, you are my life,
you are my angle of heaven.
You are my dream, you are my
hope,
you, a boon to me given...

"I shall be telling this with a sigh"
Robert Frost, The Road Less Travelled.
~
I had a mother once
With long dark hair
Whose candle faded,
but not her flame
The light she left inside my heart
Is still alive, forever glowing
It flickers softly in the dark
It chases shadows from my dreams
And comforts me, and softly keeps me
warm and safe,
and whispers love that does not leave me
It somehow knows when darkness swallows me
that soon the blush of morning follows
It tucks me in, and lightens my dread
and with warm breath, will kiss my head
Then tells me
"Hush, hush little sweet one....,
...go back to sleep"

In honor of Constance's Contest: "Give Me a Kiss, Mommy"
By Carrie Richards 10/6/11
Mother dear, I recall the many worry lines upon thy dear face.
Oh, that if time I could reverse and them from thy face erase!
Forgive me Mother dear if I caused you any undue despair.
Forgive me Mother dear if I etched my share of them there!
You struggled to see your family through the Great Depression.
To see to the needs of your family was thy sole obsession.
You saw us through sickness and health - to that I can avow.
I know that this alone carved worry lines upon thy brow.
In my feckless youthfulness, too many times I let you down.
I saw disappointment on thy face and thy disapproving frown.
If only I had the power to turn back the clock and erase,
Those worry lines that I caused to crease thy noble face.
I rue the many times that I gave you unnecessary sass.
Those hurtful words from my mouth were so terribly crass.
It gives me peace to know God erased those worry lines from your brow,
When He welcomed you Home where you rest at peace with Him now!
