[bodytext] => MOTHER'S RING I was stooping down to pick a quarter off the sidewalk. As I looked up, a sad old lady caught my eye. She looked so pale and weak and thin,no doubt, from hunger. I asked her if she'd like to eat a bite. She answered with a quiver in her voice. She almost cried as she told me. She lost everything she owned in a fire. She said she'd be ever thankful if I could get her a room to sleep tonight. If only for one night. "Just one night", she said, "just to rest my weary mind. One night, in a bed. Oh I just need some sleep tonight." She reminded me of Mama, long ago. She left with no word and nobody knows where she went or why she left home. Oh, I still miss my Mama so. I remember when I gave her a Mother's Ring on Mother's Day. She cried and hugged me. She said I love you Baby Well that Old Lady , slept like a log. I gave her my room to rest her head. I watched her sleeping , as I wandered, if I could only see Mama in that bed. Next morning when she woke up, I had her breakfast made. She ate it all and then she said, "Thank you Dear,I guess I'll be on my way." As she turned and walked towards the door she dropped a little bag. A ring fell out on the rug and I picked it up. It was the one I gave Mama, and that's a fact! Our eyes locked together as her tears began to fall. She said,"Can you forgive me for being gone for so long?" I said, "Mama, don't worry I'm just so happy you're here today after all, You are my Mama and today is Mother's Day [comments] => 2 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 54 [informant] => MMISS [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 16 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => happypoetry )

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. ©
