Mamma

My grandmother/mamma, who worked hard her whole life making life easier for us, but didn't seem to ever have the life she deserved for having done all of it.

Mamma





I don't cry because you

left here, but because

you suffered in this life—and, no,

it couldn't be your

hidden blessing, as you

did so


I sensed your pain, as life curled

I was sharp streamers, tossed,

into your hands by others—young,

randomly abandoned—you

made ways for me—for us

when no way was

seen


You are a conqueror

who gave your strengths

in disregard of your demise—DAY,

AFTER DAY


I remember—always

I love you

Rest peacefully

Mamma

This was written by a luminous son that owns the heart of a true warrior, Perhaps its because the same blood that ran through her veins runs through yours, but one thing I know, I rarely read about such devotion. No greater love then a mother's love, beyond the grave they still hover over us with their massive wings of protection. Have a wonderful day dear poet. Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed your tender poem today with great interest.

It's hard to comment on personal pieces but, the respect you have for her is evident . Nice tribute.

Would love to have had a mamma where I could write something as sweet and loving as you have here I only have bruises and blood in my memories.
