Hello Tina, I loved these three stanzas in perfect 3/6/9 form. Very well conceived and the content is so lovely. Reading your author notes, I agree with you absolutely - part of my mother remains with me and I think of her every day. Good Luck in the contest - I loved it. Lovely photo - is it of your mum? _ warm regards Dorothy x

    Your review means so much to me because you can relate to it. Yes, that's my momma. She died when I was 18 but I still remember her by bring grateful for her and trying to be like her:)
    I replied to your review earlier, but it sent it to me again so I'm not sure if you got my first reply. It makes me that you have a mom that you miss. I'm sure she was wonderful :-)
    This was the first thing I saw this morning so your six stars and your sweet review made my day! Thank you so much :-)

    Blessings,

My mum is still alive, but unfortunately she has Alzheimer's so, in a way, I can relate to this.
Lovely poem and picture. Is that your mum?
Good luck in the contest.

    Yes that's my mom. She died when I was a teenager. People say we look alike. My dad has Alzheimer's, just in the beginning stages, but I feel for you. I m so sorry for her and you. I really think that's the worst disease .
    Thank you for the review!

    Blessings

You are so right - hardly a day goes by but what I think of something Mom would have said - something she did - the legacy she left us kids. She also loved Jesus - was a quiet Finnish lady - kept her own counsel, but prayed like sixty for us all
Nice poem.

This is so good. You describe that even though your mother passed on, her wisdom is still with you, her song is still with you, and she is still in your heart. This is a beautiful poem. Best of luck in the contest.

This is an absolutely gorgeous entry into the contest, Tina. I love the parallelism among the three stanzas with where your mother is for you.

Your rhyming of 2nd and 3rd lines add that extra touch of excellence to the overall poem making this a fine entry.

Very well done and I wish you great luck with the Contest Committee. :))

Gloria

This poem is a beautiful combination of words. Such a tribute to a special and loving mother. I count 3-6-9 syllable lines in each stanza with the last two lines having an ending rhyme. The photograph is fantastic--lovely woman. Enjoyed very much!

What a sweet and loving tribute to your mother. And you honored her by not only your beautiful words but by also adhering to the 3-6-9 requirements for this poem.
I believe if your mom were alive today, she'd be very proud of your poetry. My best to you in the contest.
Connie
