Mother mother
You are to me
All things good that life can be
This love of life
You gave to me
Then let me love it
Left me to see
The path I would choose
To go on my own
You held in your feelings
And left me alone
The person I was
The person I am
You gave me my youth
Because your my best mam
Forgive me my mam
For the years that we've lost
I should have been home
No matter the cost
So I write you this poem
To say thanks and say sorry
For over the years
For the stress and the worry
That I put you through
I write this with love
and I write this for you
My best mam,
My mam has always been there for me,
Her love my heart she has the key,
I am the bairn I'm one of three,
Ones in London and ones at sea,
We've always had a special Bond,
A Mothers love that goes beyond,
We came together when things got bad,
A tragic loss is what we had,
My mam has always kept me right,
Kept me safe throughout this plight,
Her wealth of knowledge I can't ignore,
Feeds my brain and helps it grow,
My mum did nursing all her life,
And give my dad a perfect wife,
To lose my partner the way I did,
A second time I would forbid,
You only ever get one mother,
So they need looked after,
You don't get another.
She lives her love day by day
with all that is feminine
a touch,kiss or knowing look
concern,red-lettered in her book
Particular to detail
self-sacrifice a routine
as she walks the extra mile
ever ready with a smile
The days news eager to hear
her wise counsel,stills a fear
open arms brings her love near
her warmth dries a child's tear
Patience to give herself,time and again
soft and beautiful and feminine.

Where are you mam where did you go where are you mam I miss you so.
Where are you mam I miss you so much where are you mam I miss your
soft touch.
Where are you mam you went far to quick where are you mam I did not

see you again
where are you mam I want to send you my love I hope you are at rest with
god up above.
where are you mam IM in so much pain I will always be lonely until
we meet again.
A Message for Mam
by Robert (Bob) Moore – ©13 July 2016
16 years ago today
the woman I loved, passed away
we had been together almost 60 years
now I was left in this veil of tears
Through all that time she had been there
with joy and hope, and loving care
to give me strength, and calm my fears
and guide me through the passing years
She was a woman of her time
many problems, and hills to climb
with strength to face it, come what may
and through it all, she led the way
She loved us, fed us, clothed us too
and always did what she had to do
and through the bad times, keep us calm
the love of my life, was my mam
And so to mam I say today
I know it was time to go away
I did not say it enough, it’s true
but my dear Mum. I still love you
Look after Dad, and Elaine Mam
SASSY MY LABBY
Mom and Dad always teach me new
Words, I know many,
They are loving and enterprising,
I’ve heard the names of only family
At the dinner table this
Christmas, hope it will be mesmerizing,
Thank goodness I get tit-bits
During cooking preparations, the aroma of
The turkey as it cooks is totally tantalizing,
I’m not just a doggy, mom and dad say
I’m clever, tell the family please,
Sometimes they are so patronizing,
Can’t wait, I’m excited, heard them talk
About Santa, a new ball, a rubber chicken and
A squeaky toy, waiting for Christmas Eve is
AGONIZING,
I hear them talking about God and above,
So on Christmas Day, will give them
Extra servings of love!

Are those laughter lines
or the chapters of a story
Telling a tale of years gone by
those eyes of hers have seen
life and death and all between
you may ask, who's eyes are these
Well she held you on your day of birth
and you hold her in your heart
she go's by many names you see
but you will call her mam
each and everyone of us
owe her all we have .
Music skip's gently like a child into my ear's.
The sound rich in love and free from doubt and fear's.
Stay a while....lift a burden and give me a smile.
Mam do you remember when I was a child
you held me close and told me not to worry it
would be alright.
Can you take me back .
Can you make it right.
Mam i miss you every day and night... but at least I
still have my dream's that's where I'll find you.
With that smile as you tell me it's alright.
Tell me that story you use to tell before I fall asleep.
For when I wake and think of you my heart it will break.
Some day we will be together this I know is true but till that
day your in my heart and my heart is always with you...
Happiness of ours man to man differs
essence is that what one prefers
someone feels happy if someone gifts a chocolate
astronaut feels happy while in space rocket
Someone feels happy if someone loves
someone again remains happy with tasty food stuff
happiness is a matter everybody wants
reality is that always man to man differs

Folks say don’t cry, don’t be lonely, don’t sigh
But I made my Mam cry
Tears filled my eyes, to see my Mam cry
Mam got bad I got sad
Now at the hospital bed I sigh
To see my Mam die and I cry
How sorry I am that I made my Mam cry
Now all that’s left are thoughts of happier times now gone by
Mams laughter, Mams joy, her voice as she’d rejoice
Her Lord had come, and said come
How I miss her tender ways
But only one of us will say, I’m sorry I made my Mam cry
Look happy stop those tears, look at photos of happier days
Happy days except for one, the day that I made my Mam cry
Now later I rejoice to know that in time I’ll hear her voice
When on that happy road I’ll go, to know I’ll see her with our Lord
Folks say don’t cry, don’t be lonely, don’t sigh
But I made my Mam cry
Tears filled my eyes, to see my Mam cry
Mam got bad I got sad
Now at the hospital bed I sigh
To see my Mam die and I cry
How sorry I am that I made my Mam cry
Now all that’s left are thoughts of happier times now gone by
Mams laughter, Mams joy, her voice as she’d rejoice
Her Lord had come, and said come
How I miss her tender ways
But only one of us will say, I’m sorry I made my Mam cry
Look happy stop those tears, look at photos of happier days
Happy days except for one, the day that I made my Mam cry
Now later I rejoice to know that in time I’ll hear her voice
When on that happy road I’ll go, to know I’ll see her with our Lord
