Tomorrow is the anniversary of my Mama's death. She was killed by a hit-run driver at 39 years old. The years go swiftly by but the wound never heals. This is for you Mama..


Poem Artwork


Mama..do you have any idea how much
I've missed you thru the years
Time hasn't taken away the memories
are the tears
I can see you sitting before me a
cup of coffee in your hand
Or standing in the kitchen rattling
your pots and pans
I wish you were here Mama
I need you so much
There's nothing quite like a Mama's
gentle, tender touch
Some times I need you to listen
Mama, you were always there
To hold me when I cried
to let me know you care
The years go flying by
as fast as they can
I try to be strong Mama
I try to understand
When my problems overwhelm me
And they take over my heart
I want to talk to you Mama
it's hard to be apart
God took you home to be with Him
so many years ago
The many tears I've cried for you
no one will ever know
Rest in God's loving arms
You worked hard here on Earth
Mama , I took you for granted
Now I know how much you're worth!!!

I Love You , Mama

Beautiful tribute. . .to a beautiful person, it is obvious. Though I didn't have a good relationship with my birth mother, a wonderful
woman entered my life -- descended, like an angel -- and took me
to her bosom. Sadly, she ended her life three years later. {The first time I read a tribute to her in public,
I burst into tears!) But let's talk about "taking her for
granted." I think it is what every good mother wants. You know?
She doesn't want gratitude, and she certainly doesn't want to instill guilt. She just wants her children to be happy. Or as happy as it is possible to be in this world. Your mother is proud of you, I
know. Only a good daughter could have written this. Blessings
always, 'Pea' <3

Ah Linda...I too lost my mother at an early age and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. Yet when I look around I know she is still with me and always will be, she dwells in my memories and in my heart.
Wonderful tribute Linda.

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
