    Poem Commentary

    To my beloved mother. Like every moment of our lives, here one minute and gone the next.

    Oh! How I miss you so

     When I drive down the street and your songs come on
    When I look at the buddleia and see the swallowtail flutter by
    When I feel the wind pick up my bangs and force me to recognize
    I miss you
    When gram sobs and the dogs look back and forth
    When I hear a bell ring and I feel like a little kid
    When my heart aches at night for my momma by my side
    I miss you
    I want to sleep next to you tonight
    I want to curl up on your bed and smell your scent
    I want you to hold me and rock me through the night
    I miss you
    When the night grows long
    When Tracy sings your songs
    When the moon shines down
    When my heart wears a frown
    But I can't see you anymore
    I can't feel you anymore
    You won't hold me ever again
    I'm motherless
    I'm fatherless
    I feel helpless
    I miss you momma,
    I miss you so.

    Wow, that was very sad, I was a little teary eyed when I read it. I am very sorry to hear that you don't have a mother or father figure in your life. I am very sorry that you lost your mom. If you need anything just to let you know that I am hear for you if you want to talk. Sunshine aka Donna

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
