It was made from flowered feed sacks
She said they "wore" the best
She wasn't tall or slender, no make-up on her face
Her beauty shone through gentle eyes
God gave her special grace
Mama didn't ask a lot from life
Her needs were not that great
Just a warm house for her children
And food for every plate
Mama gave her kids the greatest gift
God sent it from above
She gave us everything she had
She gave us all her love
So when I think of Mama
There is only one thing I can say
Yesterday, today, forever
Every day is Mother's day. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 23 [informant] => peg [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

You found your way here. Thank-You! Now everyone can appreciate your words like I do. Maybe they will understand where I got all my writing abilities! :) I know where this came from and I love how you spoke of GRANDMA that way. I love you mom! Robbie

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). 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. ©
