Seein as it's mothers day in the States I decided to share
a couple of my favorite poems about mother.
This day is extra special to
me because my mum's been quite ill and has a big surgery comin up on may
19th. My mum is by far the bravest woman I have ever known . I Love you
mum.
TO MY MOTHER
Because I feel that in the heavens
above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their
burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of
"Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I have long called you,
You
who are more than mother unto me,
And filled my heart of hearts, where
death installed you,
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My
mother -- my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself;
but you
Are the mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are
dearer than the mother I knew
But that infinity with which my
wife
Was dearer to my soul that its soul-life.
--Edgar Allan Poe
(1809-1849)
THAT WONDERFUL MOTHER OF MINE
The moon
never beams without bringing me dreams
Of that wonderful mother of
mine.
The birds never sing but a message they bring
Of that
wonderful mother of mine.
Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet
to me,
Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her
knee.
I pray ev'ry night to our Father above,
For that
wonderful mother of mine.
I ask Him to keep her as long as He
can
That -- wonderful mother of mine.
There are treasures on earth,
that made life seem worthwhile,
But there's none can compare to my
mother's smile.
(Refrain)
You are a wonderful mother, dear
old Mother of mine.
You'll hold a spot down deep in my
heart,
'Till the stars no longer shine.
Your soul shall live on
forever,
On through the fields of time.
For there'll never be
another to me,
Like that wonderful Mother of mine.
-- Clyde Hager
