Dedicated to Ed J.

*A Mother* *We all have or had one* *Some brought memories* *Maybe not a June Cleaver* *But one thing you’ll see* *If not for this woman* *Not one would we be* *Not one be inspired* *Nor ability of prose* *Not one to have heart* *For this we all know* *Some dried our tears and tied our shoes* *Some went off to other places* *Nothing else they could do* *While others worked to keep us in braces* *So now we thank you* *Sometimes we were one of many* *Mum barely had enough time* *Some of us were the only* *And some had none to confide* *Some went gray early* *For we scared them to death* *Some stood up in morals* *Our character they’d attest* *Many wept tears* *And some not a drop* *As off we adventured* *Even if we did flop* *For there or not there* *Lest us not forget* *This beautiful vessel* *Never lose who she is* *The one who has formed us* *With all of our prose* *Dear one we love you* *Even if not known* *Dedicated to Ed J. whose mother just crossed over to the other side* *April 22, 2012* *Carolee Dennis-Woosley* *April 23, 2012*

My mother was a wonderful woman who worked hard. She was so gentle and kind to everyone Lily, I miss her so too.

This is a fine tribute, Angel. It is particularly poignant for me as I remember my mother whose suffering compelled her to leave this life (place) early and of her own choosing. Love and best wishes,

Regis

My thoughts go with you into this poem. And they go with you into the next moments and the ones after. May the moments bring you to the keyboard, or pencil and paper, standing in line somewhere, still holding this place you have made for your mother, all mothers and for yourself, as always being there. Great interjection of this delightful inclusion: "Some went gray early/For we scared them to death" ~~ Thank you for this. ~~ Diana
