For My Mother Comments

Hugh, I imagine I feel like a peeping tom, as what you have written is so revealing and expressive. I envy your ability to dream, and recall dreams, and to phrase them so well. I feel compelled to read more of your work, but not yet. I tend to spend my time in humour, only happening on seriousness by chance, but when it touches, I know and feel it. Cheers. Danny

Very moving for all of us who have lost mothers. Isn't it extraordinary how our dreams bring her back to life. Quite beautiful, thank you. Linda

Hugh, this is an amazing poem in that you wrote with such love without simpering and you wrote about death with acceptance. Your dreams must bring you much comfort and writing this poem brings others comfort as well. Thank you Raynette

It brought tears to my eyes, very beautiful.! !

This is just beautiful Hugh, and indeed the way you describe her coming to you, is exactly the way they do. 10 from Tai

A soul capturing expression..feeling as though it did... just that. Beautiful Hugh.

A fine tribute, Hugh. I would reconsider the word 'forever.' Otherwise, powerful and haunting. Martin

having lost my mother this year, I find this a fine piece that pulls heart strings, no other loss quite like it

A loss which never leaves you. A love which always haunts you. A wonderful tribute to your mother Hugh.

Again you avoid cliche as one would avoid dog mess walking in a street in Amsterdam. Some loss we can never get over and there is no answer to the question why? We just don't.
