This is a lovely tribute to your mother and how much you miss her. It is uplifting to know that you are keeping her memory alive with the gospel tunes she loved.

This is a beautiful tribute to your mother's faith and your own. I am sorry that she went to Heaven so young but even in those "eighteen years of mothering," it sounds she made a great impact about the importance of trusting Jesus and her legacy was the gift of music and praise. Best wishes in the contest!

Hello Mystery Writer,
What a lovely and heartfelt poetic offering.
Your words flow effortlessly and are filled with respect and love for your mother.
I love the thought that you still own your mother's sheet music and often sing your mother's favorite hymms. Beautiful...

Thank you!
Best Wishes!

Celebrating any kind of event at home can be painful when your own mother is no longer here. That's why your heartfelt poem about missing mom hit so close to home. It touched a chord in me. Good luck in the contest!

A well written poem with nice end rhyming paying tribute to your mum. I agree with you music is very moving. It can make us cry, laugh, sing or simply be at peace with the world. I too lost my mum suddenly when she was a young 60. There is so much I didn't get to ask her. Thanks for sharing Franky

I can relate, the uncertainty of loosing a mother, but she left you with a part of her. I especially liked the ending on a happy note. Your poem stirred emotions within me. Any poem that moves me gets a thumbs up.

This well metered and rhymed poem is uplifting and positive when facing of grief sorrow. I am sorry for your loss and you still hear your Mother's songs that help you on your journey through life, much enjoyed.

Just one suggestion for this line:

"for me to grow up leaning (from) her songs"

This is surely a winner for the contest, a delightful read, love Dolly x

This is a beautiful poem that deserves to do well in the contest. It has an authentic personal feeling of mother-daughter connection, charged with emotion but not soppy. Music is the link with your Momma and God - major influences in your life.
"melodies that mothered" is a lovely phrase.
