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
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 cared.
The years go flying by just as
fast as they can ~
I try to be strong Mama..I try
to understand.
When I have problems 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!!!
For those of you who didn't read my poem...In Memory of Kitty Ann Spence...My Mama..... She was killed by a hit-run driver when she was only 39 years young. She was crossing the road one rainy Oct. night and didn't see the car coming. It's a day I will never forget. She left eight children and a husband behind. So tragic. The man who hit her was later found...but he was a known alcoholic. He was probably drinking at the time. I stand united with my fight against drunk drivers because I know first hand the pain involved. Thank all of you for reading this....sometimes I just want to sit beside her at her old kitchen table and drink coffee and just talk to her for hours.......sadly......that can't happen now.

You know Linda, the only mother I know is my Grandma and she was a gem. I still think of her love and the pain of missing her. Losing some one like that is hard almighty hard. I do understand.
And Linda thanks for your comments on my recent poems. You are a dear and I am proud you are my friend.
what a lovely woman she was!! you were so blessed to have her. how sad she died too young on the account of the actions of another who had no regard of what he was doing. drunken drivers and driving while drunk needs to be SERIOUSLY addressed, and all offenders of such need to be SEVERELY PUNISHED!!!! thanks for waking us up with this; too many innocent lives are lost as the result of drunk drivers. such a tragedy, and one that doesn't need to happen!! love, and (((HUGS))), your friend, karen lynn. >tears <
Bill...the pic is a repost...but the poem I just wrote tonite....thank you all for reading and commenting...(((Huggs)))

Honey, I remember when you posted this before, and I know it hurts you just as badly now as it did then, and has hurt you through all these years. This shows so much love and appreciation for your Mother.
The hurt probably will never go away. Your heart is so soft and gentle and carries so much pain throughout life. I am in full of empathy for you baby. Hugs xo Bill
Linda, a truly sad and heartbreaking tribute. Yes there is no replacement for Mom.
And I have no tolerance for drunk drivers. If you want to drink, that is fine with me, but stay at home. Stay away from the wheel of a car. Lisa

Linda,
beautiful tribute to a lovely mother from a lovely daughter... so beautiful
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.
