I don't believe any us truly appreciate our mother's love (beyond the ego-driven possessive need of it) until we have our own children. Then something changes - and we can shove her off the pedestal and let her deep inside our heart. A loving, honest piece that many readers will relate to and shed a tear for. love, Allie xxxx
This is such a reminder to me, I just found my daughter and hugged her...She looked at me like I'm nuts...but so I am.. Thanks
So what song was patsy singing, that seems to be the question, most people missed, although the write does speak for itself,10-10 again lee, Lee..x
there's never enough time to spend with those closest to us, and afterward there are always those things we never got around to saying. The music in your mother's heart are echoed through your fond remembrances of her. We may never understand all the pain and sorrow in our parents' hearts, but luckily (?) we'll all have plenty of our own to sing about. nice tribute
This is so effective. The emotion sings off the page. t x
both personal pain and a near-tribute to Patsy are skillfully interwoven in this impactful work. nice read, Lee. -Tailor

As a poet, you have the unique ability of translating into words (with brevity and power) the feelings that have laid dormant for years in the heart of your readers. This poem almost made me cry because it reminded me of my dearest Mama. Now I can truly say that I'm one of your fans.
As I read this, I can close my eyes and see Mom sitting there, with tears in her eyes, listening quietly to Patsy.... I see it so clear and wish it was just from yesterday... miss her much hun... as you do... love ya!
Painfully beautiful, , , the structure and content are immencely well pieced together What a writer, , what a compassionate write Love duncan X

Apples don't fall far from the tree...My bet is she always knew how you felt... My guarantee is that if she missed it here...she' knows it now & forever, after reading this fine emotion packed gem.....She knows...just like you know how your children feel, no matter what....Mom's just know....Excellent tributive, Mrs. Degnan ~ ~ ~
