HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! Pressing-on, amen.


Poem Artwork

 

Short, Black, brownskin lady…

on the heavy side

no…not very affectionate

but within…strength…did abide

Indeed, something missing from ‘us’

but God, He knew what I needed

so here, with yesterday gone, I find

the wisdom of her words…if heeded

Surely, without the abnormalities

I would not survive in this world today

every experience…taught me well

toughened me…to handle present fray

I know she loved me all she could

what with so many ‘things’ occurring

endeavoring her utmost to persevere…

with me in tow, while… life…securing

God’s Will…this is all I know and accept

just daddy, she and I…no sister, no brother

I’m thinking our best days…be on yonder shore

when in Glow of His Love, I’ll again see…My Mother

 

Jeremiah 29:11

Nobody can replace the mother, and even when she passes, she is always there. What a lovely tribute poem.

You are so fortunate to have had both your mother and father near, even though you had no brothers and sisters. One thing they did was make sure you got a very good education because your writing is flawless and beautiful to read like this Mother's Day greeting to your mother that you hope to see again someday.

I was so fortunate to have a twin brother as a companion until we were both 21. And hard-working, open and loving parents who let us go on our own at 18 with all we needed for a successful life ahead. My mother taught me to be frugal and generous with others, to communicate often with others even though they didn't return the communication, and to love travel and adventure--explore. My parents had 62 years together. Mom died in February 2020 at 95, free from the pandemic and from all the ailments that made her last years so miserable.
