Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I don't think I have read any of your posts before. I see that is my loss. I will become a fan as soon as I leave this review. I enjoyed reading and good luck.

I joined a few years ago but stepped away for almost a year, to do a blog of devotions. I came back a few weeks ago. Thanks for fanning me. I am honored:)

I like the picture... Blue can mean a sunny day. It can also mean being blue and dark inside... This poem reminds people of their moms.
I miss my Mom too. She passed away at 60. The irony I didn't believe she would die even though my brother told me so. At that time, I was away from my home country. I didn't want to return home due to my career advancement.
The author is lucky that she left Tina with songs... that she can recall and learn something.
Thanks for sharing.

60 is so young! No one expects their mom to leave them that early. I did not appreciate the songs before my mom died, as I did after she died. Later, I realized the gift she gave me.
I hope you have fond memories of your mom and something she taught or gave you:)
I like your thoughts about the blue! I did not think of that!

This was a very well-written poem with such meanings. I also liked the artwork that you chose or your writing. Great job!
"...with melodies that mothered eighteen years." [my favorite lines]

' Momma's Songs ' , is an exceptionally well-written and heart-wrenching piece. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a privilege to both read and review. To me this is a seven, but unfortunately I haven't been given any. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I think this is totally beautiful. It is obvious that you loved your mother a lot and have been able to find peace placing her in the Lord's hands. I really enjoyed reading this, as well as your bio to the right. It is a wonderful thing to be motivated so creatively because of something you found of hers after she was gone. Sincere best wishes in the contest. Smiles and hugs!

Yes! writing poetry makes me like her. It keeps me connected to her. I was 18 when she died, so I am not sure how I raised two girls pretty much on my own as a good mom. No one taught me how to be a mom, I thought...but then I remembered all the things she told me about God, and with His help and friends, we made it through! I do not usually share so much personal stuff, but I am thankful!
Again, thanks for this review!

Hello Tina Crute,
Nice piece of poetry meeting the desired norms, having lucid as well as perfectly matching the theme phraseology, smooth flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting its theme.
The last but one stanza is particularly noteworthy.

Tina, This is a very wonderful and well written poem you have penned about your Mother's songs. You used very good descriptive and heartfelt words. It sounds you are a lot like your Mother. My grandmother wrote Christian songs too. Thank you for sharing my friend. love and blessings, Teri

Indeed it is, no matter what kind of music it is one is into, it has the capacity to soothe, excite and heal that is for sure.
A very nice heart-warming spiritual poem Tina. Good luck !

The contest ended yesterday and I tied for second. It was just fun writing down my appreciation for Momma and music. Music is definitely healing, you are so right!
Thanks again!

You sound like you had a close and loving relationship with your mom. I did as well, I miss her so much. Little things can comfort us, like the songs your mom liked. Thank you for sharing this memory with us.

What a lovely tribute to your mom and to the Lord. It is so hard to lose a loved one and your poem expresses this very eloquently. My favorite stanza: For solace, I began to sing her songs,
for Jesus songs were ones that she adored
and as the notes fell from these lips of mine,
I felt her teaching me about her Lord.
