I Never Forgot You
By: Felix L. Perry
I remember…
you being there first thing in the morning when we got up
your hands wrist deep kneading dough for our daily bread
you washing clothes in water so cold your hands were blue
your imagination in stretching food to feed 11 hungry mouths
you struggling but always find a way to make Christmas special
you cooking on a driftwood beach fire on our Sunday drives
you loving and cherishing each grandchild as they came along
your singing old Newfie songs with your sisters when they visited
you making home made fries and playing old 78 RPM records
your smile even in the last few days I treasured spending with you
I remember your love…I remember you Mom!

She sounds like she was a very courageous woman who raised
a beautiful strong son. She must be smiling from heaven and
thanking the Gods for having had such a son . Have a blessed
Sunday dear poet. Thank you :)
and made me think about mine...
What a super strong love and bond
exists between a Mother and her children...
And when they depart this world, they
Leave us with the sacred gift of a box full
of the most Precious memories to sustain
us for the rest of our lives..
...the gift that keeps on giving...
A deeply touching and expressive poem...
