Isn't it wonderful when we can have real life hero? Mine was never my mum or my dad, dad worked hard and I hardly ever saw him, my best friend's dad was my mentor, and opening batting partner in my twenties, well done, great post, good luck, blessings Roy

What a sentimental, heartfelt poem. Not all of us are lucky enough to have mothers who care for and nurture us. Your poem made me a bit teary. You must be a wonderful mother. Thankyou.

moving poem to one's mother. YOu nailed the instructions in the prompt. Mom's are special, I miss my Mom who died in 2007. Sadly taken by the dreaded Alzheimers.

I like this poem that shows how much you love your mother. I like your smooth flow of rhyming words that adds to the strength of your theme. There is a good feeling that comes forth from reading your words.

You paired a lovely illustration with your poem. However, the combination of the black background and red print makes it a little tricky to read. But the message is tender and lovely.

Best wishes.

The author's words are just beautiful! They are engaging, descriptive
and creative. These words for me were heartfelt. When a mother hears
these words it is such a gift. The poem flows and connects well. The
artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.

This is a good one, RESO. You have managed to put a tremendous amount of feeling into a very short poem. I also loved your notes. You should do well in the contest.

Awwww. what a wonderful tribute to your mother! Mine is a saint as well, and it is difficult to find the words to express the love for such a person, but you did a great job and nailed it.

Not to mention your picture is great!

This is a beautiful poem; short and sweet. There's nothing like a mother's love. My mom means everything to me as well. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the contest :)

Although this is a short poem, it says much about mother -daughter relationships. The illustration is striking and powerful. As they say 'blood is thicker than water!'
