Black Poetry : Missing you.....

[LadyLC]

I miss you and think of you everyday
I wish you hadn't left us that way
Everything you told me was true
The older I get, the more I'm like you
My Mama's love cannot be replaced
Her smile, her laugh, her beautiful face
She was funny, witty, loved to dance and sing
But if you messed with her children,
A change in her demeanor that would bring
Mama taught is to be aware, to think for ourselves
To walk walk tall, to be proud
Never worship material things and wealth
I'm raising her grand children and now I see
Why Mama chose the lessons that she taught me.......​

Oh, Miss LadyLC! Reading this got me a little misty for my mama!

The lessons they gave us do come back, don't they! I can hear mine saying, "Just keep living and you'll see."

But, your poem is such a poignant, beautiful tribute to the woman who nurtured and shaped you and you are further honoring her by passing on her legacy to your children.

That's what it's all about, aint it?
