Visual Poetry Image - Momma Visual Poem - Crystal Vase For Tea Roses Tea Roses = I'll remember always, I'll remember you always, I'll always remember you
Momma ...Momma, I remember you Just, as if, it were yesterday You had such a loving, gentle, caring way You made sure each of us kids were always spic and span We were made to feel like princesses and princes in a fairyland All, because of your unique, creative sewing hand
Momma, I remember, you For every birthday, a delightfully, delicious cake, you would bake To you, everybody's date of birth was a reason for celebration's worth For every family outing or a weekend, Jonesville trip You made sure there were lots of laughs and games that were cool and hip For every picky eater, you magically made the messy smear disappear In your lap, you held the little one, softly, near You served fresh spoonfuls of cereal, green beans, carrots or even stew And, with your smile and a song, you made it easy to chew and chew For any and every fall You were there with aid and on God, you always, did call For each and every fear, you had a funny, funny cheer For every flower, you gave a big hug and a kiss, full of encouraging power For every injustice, you meekly stood in defense, ever so tall And, in a lady like manner, you put a stop to it, once and for all
Momma, I remember, you Not one of us, your love, did we ever, doubt You, most definitely set a sterling example of a mother, considerate and devout Nobody, nobody was ever overlooked or went without Not us kids, not daddy, no matter how much we would yell or pout Not the woman who needed a coat, as she fled a husband's vicious shout Not the homeless woman, looking for handouts as she aimlessly wandered about Not even, the man who escaped from a chain gang, looking for food and a waterspout Not one person in need, did you ever, refuse to help out With a personality such as yours, disclosed in any given dossier Momma, for you, there will be an eternal tribute on display A tall, elegant, crystal vase, filled with a gigantic, colorful, fragrant, tea rose bouquet For, you will always be a beautiful, chic, classy, compassionate mother, I say Momma, I remember you clearly, as if, it were, yesterday...

You left, way, way, too soon That crisp morn, in the hospital room As God's angels, plumed.. Copyright 2000 by Deborah Young An excerpt from You Left, Too Soon
Momma, momma up above My beloved You provided platforms Of acceptance and unconditional love When you went away I staggered and staggered many a day Finally, I tapped your wisdom's relay Now, today, I stand tall and confident, in every way And, without the slightest hint of a sway...
