An excellent tribute to the one you love. Certainly befitting the title of an ALL TIME BEST. Bitter and sweet are the stories we all recall from time to time. Sharing such heartfelt stories are the best writing prompts for us all.

This is very good. I am touched by your grief and pain. Surely by now you are having more and more better days? I hope so.

I can see why you received All Time Best.
This is beautifully written and so touching.

This is a lovely tribute to your mother the rhyme flowed nicely but best of all your poem expressed how from her kindness you learned how to live beyond your farewell. All the best and God Bless

God bless you! I submitted that poem quite awhile ago so it really blessed my heart to see your review for it. She was quite a Mom and the best friend I ever had so I truly appreciate you taking time to read my tribute to her and I'm so glad you liked it!

Wow! Thank you so much! I posted this so long ago it really blessed my heart that you read it and reviewed it. I had the best Mom in the world and I'm glad that came through. Thank you again for this sweet unexpected review!
Comment from I am Cat
Why move on until you have said what you need to say?
I can't even begin to fathom the empty feeling of being without your mother.
(perhaps I can)... my father abandoned us early on after twisting and turning our lives so much that it left shockwaves for decades after.
My mother, like yours, has always been there... I dread the day she's no longer by my side.
You say it well, and with deep emotion and I feel honored to have shared her for only a moment.
Take care and love and laughter to you,
Cat

Oh, God Bless you. I'm sorry I've taken so long to respond. I don't get to go on Fan Story as much as I'd like. Didn't know I had a review for this. I'm sorry about the effect your father had on your life but it sounds like your Mom made up for it. God bless her! My Mom was my best friend and it was my honor to share her with you. Thank you again

Oh, God bless you! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Haven't had time to check on my page. My Mama meant the world to me and I'm so glad you could see that in the poem. Thank you so much for taking time to read it and I'm so happy you liked it!

This is such a beautiful piece in memory of your mother. Your thoughts are genuinely honest. My favorite part is the last stanza. Excellent work! I actually just posted a poem in memory of my grandmother, last week. It felt good to grieve on paper.

Comment from poetic1988
This is a great poem, one of epression and great sadness yet its beautiful as I can picture myself to saying this on my knees Dear Lord, I'd like to refrain
From the tears I've shed at Your knee
And send up a heartfelt "Thank You"
For the angel You sent down to me
Angelic she was, in every way
This treasure You sent from above
Down here I called her Mama
And she answered me with love
I'm so thankful, Dear Lord, that I told her
She was my light when surrounded by darkness
