Smiling and rocking while I gasped for air.
She sat in the dark where I knew shed be;
Reading and watching over me.

I had stopped breathing in my sleep;
Asthma will do that when sleep is deep.
She’s always known to waken me;
When asthmas almost taken me.

She used to smoke 3 packs a day.
She blames herself Im sad to say;

I know one night shell come too late;
But Ill be glad to stay and wait;
Exactly as shes done for me;
Since her death in 63. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 83 [topic] => 24 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LoveRemembered )

wow, powerful.
you knew she loved
you so, she shared
her love by loving you
63 was so different
than now
I silently think what did I do
to my own children
holding your moms hand
at least for me
brought so much peace
to my mind, because
there was no question
that she loved me so

where we came from
A woman to her little girl
I was a boy
It really would not matter
to a good mother
shush, what is a good mom ---
I am sorry about tabacco
and a lot of things of which
I have no control

being part of the family
as it is / as I am

Peace!

You are beautiful, just beautiful, times two, plus tax and twice on Sunday.
Don/'/t sleep too deep, your meaningful, delightful, thoughtful, tearful, whimsical and quotable poems
are needed.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
