I am so glad you love your mother so dearly. I loved mine and still do though I can no longer hold her hands in mine. Your words brought back so many memories.
Thank you so much Susan..I cannot hold my mothers hand now as sadly she died days before Christmas. Thank you for your kind words
A beautifully composed poem. Love and gratitude for mom dripping thick from lines. Loved it.
Precious words. Deepest sympathy Lodigiana for the loss of you Mum. Beautiful words shared.

I think my other comment was lost because the page skipped to another poem before I could send it! This is a lovely poem about your lovely Mum, Lodigiana. Congrats on Member Poem of the day!
And I wish you a belated Happy New Year and take care. I'd better go now it feels like I'm hogging your comments section. Ahh so what I'll hog away and add things in this new year can only improve for everyone. And take care and I wish you well. Shaun.x.
Well done again Lodigiana and the loudest salutations to your good self and again richly deserved.
Wonderful poem, well crafted... I was particularly stuck by the line, 'A palm now lined with living'...
5 stars and to my favourites. I will read this again and again.

Very solemn expressions, Lodigiana, of your untainted love for your mother. Recounting the ocean of selfless love of your mother for you. And how we need to care for the elderly. Very poignant writing. Class poetry.5stars
Timeless poems need to be reread from time to time. What else is there to say, except thank you Lodigiana.
