Spring Cleaning

Wrote this long ago for my mama the first Mothers Day she was DEAD

My mother loved this time of the year
time for Spring cleaning she'd sing in our ears
so up we would jump from bed when we had
rather pulled the covers up over our heads

Once we were up she would hand us a list
mine was always filled with the best  of the
worse that is

Like clean the toilet and under the beds
When you are done with that, don't forget the shed

My mamas been gone for over a year
some days more than others I shed many tears

Now I know that Heaven is immaculately clean
but being that it is Spring
I know she is cleaning with the Angels
God's Heavenly pews

The word play and poem described above could be seen to use the same symbolism for cleaning ourselves - for instance, we practice fasting, we clean our bodies and mind and so this is to represent a central procedure in human spirituality in spring, I really liked this sweet dedication to your mama.

Oh how I can relate to this... lost my mom four years ago... she too was big on cleaning... between yours and mine it must be white glove ready up there... a very sweet dedication indeed.

This is very sweet. Kind of made my eyes water up! Very good poem.
