Goodbye Mom Comments

I couldnt seem to follow the tune, Nearer My God To Thee, in your poem....but the emotional content is powerful and sends this poem to the sky. What my instinct tells me is, that you when you wrote this poem, you were too close to its impact, and thus you haven't been able to grasp its momentum in your life. It wil come, it will come. Thanks for your passion, keep on writing. Phillip

I didn't cried when my dad left for the heavenly abode, but reading your tribute to ur mummy tears just explode...

The bond between you and your Mom will always be there, even though she has gone, a write I can relate to, very touching 10 Lynda xx

Such a sad and tender write Sandra...hard to let their spirit go isn't it...Fi 10+++

You will never find a stronger connection of love then what there is between a mother and daughter, A great book, Feathers Brush My Heart tells many stories of a mother reaching back through the after life to just let you know that she will always be with you. May your life mend quickly over your lost 10++

I'm very sorry for your loss, , but there is always one thing to remember that is, that she will always be with you. For you are her, and she is you. Tango.

May her soul rest in peace...and may her memories continue to live with you...very touching...beyond remarks

No moms are ever dead.....they only transgress and transcend with motherhood.Only occasions we hoodwink its greatness but it does not claim humbly to be gorgeously great.A 10 from me.

well communicated, flow is there. rhyme is there. adeptly penned. more over it touches deep the reader 10 you may read my ' the concept of the soul' and tell your openion. shan

Sandra, you lead the reader so vividly through the loss of your dear departed Mother. 'Nearer My God to Thee' being such a fitting tribute to her. May she rest in peace. A truly expressive and heart felt poem. Top marks Karin Anderson

so touching, letting go of parents is hard, but as you so wisely conclude, her spirit lives on. i lost my mother, and i know how like an orphan i felt, lotsof love Mamta

Sandra, i could not help myself to become so emotional reading this. i lost my mother too, and i had the hard time to see her again when her coffin was laid down the earth.I was in pain seeing her that way, the earth and the insects were her companions.plus the cold night..I can feel what you felt, and i am so sorry for your loss. But life must go on..they have to go first to welcome us. Hugs, meggie

So touching and heartfelt Sandra, and yet so positive for the future. A truly beautiful write. Best wishes, Andrew
