My mother passed 12/28/07. My wife JoAnn (Joey) passed 1/5/09 We were married over 46 years. All of a sudden I'm able to write poems. This poem was published in a local publication for Mothers Day.

To My Joey And My Mother

Mothers are a gift from the heavens above
All through life they share their love
Mothers are the greatest creation
They are what they are and need no explanation
From that first day starts a new life of love and joy
They do anything to protect their baby girl or boy
They walk around as proud as can be
They want to shout look I have a life inside me
Bigger and bigger she gets as time goes by
Some suffer from pain and they cry
There love is so strong that they can bear the pain
They suffer and pray that it all was not in vain
The greatest day on earth has come
With some pain and pushing you are now a mom
You have suffered a lot and sometimes cried
But now it is over and with a baby at your side
Now the easy part is over and your baby is here to stay
You become a doctor a lawyer different people everyday
You protect and raise them through the years
With love joy and even some tears
Now their grown and its time for them to leave
You think back over the years while you grieve
Even thou they are gone and hardly call you
They may not write but they do love you
Mothers belong on a pedestal with the word rare
From the first day till the last they always care
Mothers are and will always be
The greatest any world will ever see
When it is her time to go to heavens place
She is sent back to earth wearing a new face
Over and over a mother they be
To give love to their new baby
Back and forth from heaven to earth
With love and joy and giving birth
Mothers are not one of a kind
They are all the same with love in mind
With love in there heart from heaven they come
Before you move on let me say I love you mom

Hi, troublemakerman!

Great job on your poem! Did you also post it on the AARP site?

My condolences on your losses!

Thanks!

Yes I posted it on the AARP site.
Thank You!

Do you plan to do anymore writing like what you posted here, troublemakerman?

Clough,
I have written 7 other poems based on my wife and my feelings.
Thank you for asking. Michael

Are any of the poems you've written like lyrics to a song? Perhaps you might want something you write to become a song with music?

I never thought about it. I don't think so. Thank's.

Okay.

I loved this poem. I am going to share it with my friends!
