Chris, I read your poem earlier and wanted to tell you what a beautiful account of your very lovely mother's life. I am so sorry for your loss, as it sounds like it was just recently that she passed. I know how hard it is, especially on Mother's Day, but I am sure she has read this and felt it from your heart, as it was truly a beautiful honor to her memory. Congrats on your win!

    Hi Debi Thank you and yes Mum passed away on 30/4/22 and we buried her on Monday 9/5/22 so yes very recently
    Mothers Day this year was very hard knowing we were to lay Mum to rest the next day
    However we did give her a lovely funeral a bright sunny day and now Mum is with Dad
    I think poetry is a wonderful way sometimes to release many feelings and I use it often for that purpose
    A second place was a bonus for my poem this year
    Cheers Chris

Oh Chrissy, I've just clicked on this and feel so sad for you losing your Mum - especially dealing with this so close to Mother's Day. Warmest good wishes to you and your family for the funeral, which I am sure your attentive organisation will ensure is a beautiful tribute.

    There is some comfort when reunion with other family members provides solace.

Hi Chrissy, So sorry to here about your Mum's passing. The author's words are heartfelt, sad, clear and creative. I pondered on the theme
of these words. Thank you for the author's notes they compliment
this poem well. The artwork is perfect and compliments the poem.

God Bless you for memorializing your sweet Mum in this poignant poem.
Eighty-six! Still, don't we always want just one more day? I will be thinking of you and praying for you as you lay your Mum to rest. I lost my mom 37 years ago -- I miss her every Mother's Day. She'll be smiling down from heaven, with your dad... I do believe this!

You have written a heartfelt and gentle poem here for what sounds like was a fine woman, and mother.

Many thanks for sharing.

    Hi Roy Thank you my friend snd yes Mum was a gentle soul
    We laid her to rest yesterday with a beautiful Church service and family burial
    Mum had a strong Christian faith and we had the songs I walk with God , Raise me up and The twelfth of Never all very stirring and brought many tears.
    Mum is now with Dad and my brother Jim and I will miss her terribly
