is a lady of magnificence

someone within

a framework of body

sculptured with reason

highlighted with eyes that

see all. She’s somebody-

a person of worth

and angels surround her.

 

Mama is my very

own dear mother full

of substance

with caring hands-

a loving heart

yet struggling to be heard

and Jesus knows

her well.

 

(written for Louise-

mama’s daughter)

Can't quite figure out who is who Richard is the poem about your own mother? She should be long passed?

Early last year our mother passed away, I miss her. Thankfully we are coping well. Not always so nice I try not to not think about it too much, but I am glad she's not under the lockdown she loved traveling and holidays and she liked working too. She would not want having to be sitting at home all the time and with all just bad news.

Although she would probably be reading books the whole time she really enjoyed it, easily three novels a day and every day, she was a speed reader a natural. When I was a child I believed she knew basically every thing. You could ask her anything. Well almost! Like a google!

My brother is doing fine he is a stalwart he looks after most of our domestic stuff. They say blood is thicker than water. For sure.

We just watched our first Virus – the End - Save the World this afternoon, Quick off the mark! Serious bucks movie Stratham and the Rock. I have found the movies rather a salvation.

All the best Richard! && Nolan

Hello Nolan, my son's wife's mother is the MAMA in the  poem. I wrote it as if it was Louise the daughter was writing the poem about her mother who died the day after I wrote it -- she had Alzheier.s. Understand that complex situation? 

It's a big step losing a mom, like recognizing our own mortality. This virus circling the globe has gotten so many afraid to move, it is tragic. and yet we think nothing of abortion - in Canada 95,000 per yr. Tragic, since so many could easily be adopted.  

God bless and be safe -Richard & Esther
