"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother" - A. Lincoln.

Resting on warm sand
by the Sea...Bondi Beach shore
I write a letter
to my Mum... then set it free
swimming away with surf flow.
I could not suffer
more and be alive...You gave
me gift to treasure.
Alone...I screamed so loudly
Oh God!...Then silence and...sign.
You heard me?...Mother?
I knew...I felt the warmth and calm
of the sound; "Be strong
believe in yourself...and trust
see great things coming your way"...
Waves approached me now
eager to have my writing
mail...Sooo...make it short
Thank you Mum...for being One
of the Greatest in this World...
Very good! I loved this. My mother is 90 this year and I know it will hurt to lose her. A special relationship we have with our mothers. Thank you for sharing.
'MOTHERS' ARE SPECIAL PEOPLE. THEY HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE OR BREAK THEIR CHILDREN. THANK GOD WHEN THEY NURTURE AND INSPIRE GREATNESS AND A LOVE FOR GOD AND HIS WORD. A FINE TRIBUTE TO ONE WHO DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT...YOUR MOTHER. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
A most fine tribute to your mother, Isabella; and so apt and timely for me to have found this poem since tomorrow is Mother's Day. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and best wishes to you,
Totally moved by your carefully chosen words that deliver such loving impact...
Diana...

I chose this poem of yours because it relates to me in many ways. I also write about my mother. "Letter to My Mother" is powerful by how sparing are the lines, and how charged is the sparcity. In this I hear tones of your philosophy described by you in your profile page, especially with: ".....then silence and.....sign" and in "see great things comming your way." The connection in this poem is very beautiful. ~~ Diana
