What a lovely tribute to your Mom. I know how happy and proud she will be of you for writing this poem.. I love the way you start off the poem... literally from birth, being held up high to show the world your mother's joy.. and the moment you heard your mom's loving voice and looked into her eyes, your souls connected from that moment forward... and nothing will ever break that bond.. very tender and loving poem..

Comment from bob cullen
Beautifully written. And the perfect description of my mother also.
Loved the rhyme and flow of this poem, but both paled into insignificance when compared to the message the poem promotes.

Wow! Bob,

Comment from Old Soldier
Well done. Nice rhythm and structure. From the way you speak about your mom she must be my mom's twin. They sound so much alike. Moms have a natural love. There is no love more caring and giving then that of a mother. Thanks for sharing, keep writing and reading.

Comment from Wabigoon
Steve--
Nice job. I've read a lot of these, I think. All mom's have their moments according to what I've read. Yours seems exceptional. I've never had that dream -- have dreamt, I think, about the "birth canal" from the point of view of having to go down it.
Have you found a home safe from flooding? That's what you had on your mind last thing I knew.
Only have fives.
Best

Appreciate the awesome review Jeff! I have purchased a home out of the flood zones. Now we are in escrow awaiting close. We should be in by the end of the hopefully. I am moving my Mother and Father in with me.
God bless!

Comment from LIJ Red
I count myself blessed, I had a mother for sixty-eight years. I imagine Mother's Day is next Sunday, so this is a timely poem, and one that gets fivers from me.

Cheers, NEONEWMAN;
-I've adopted a new way of reviewing and I hope you like it is I take your poem apart and discuss some viewpoints. I also noticed you written in a trochaic meter of 12 syllables per line and somewhere the lines you used a Dactylic meter , and whether it could be either iambic or just plain feet per line. That's all the mechanics let's forget about that because it comes from your heart.
-I really like this line: "Sing to me as each day passed, one I did adore", I really like how much your interpretation of this line is an tool some words around in the last four words and this is what I got "Sing to me as each day passed, one THAT I'D adore". I'm not asking you to change yours I was just looking at it from a different perspective.
-I like also how you being brought into world and recollection, and the recognition of the process of you leaving heaven or a place, where baby souls are taken care of before the born, and then brought into this world and In which the way you described it. Brilliantly done!
-"I was overwhelmed with love; she is my saving grace " Here's what I found were I could save some space to express myself even further by writing it this way-"I was overwhelmed with love; AS SHE'S my saving grace".
-"No other place in this old world, would I rather be" I see worse poetic license to use a comma after the word world and it is acceptable but grammatically if one could he had the proper process as such: "No other place in this old world, THAT I'D rather be." Do you see my gist?
-I had some fun with this one and I hope you don't mind, too much, That I have you look at another viewpoint? "
"Fifty years have now slipped by; QUICKER THAN A SCREAM" i
Many nights have disappeared since I'VE HAD that dream"
-Fabulous piece of writing my friend as I enjoyed reading it very very much. It truly comes from your heart I can tell wholeheartedly that you put a lot into your Writing with well-nourished feelings.
-Thank you so much for sharing and take care and have a good one especially with all those that love you dearly.
-Less than I forget, good luck in the contest.
