Dear Mama

dear mama

 

do you remember

 

the way I use to dance

 

around the house

 

sing to my hearts content

 

dear mama

 

do you remember

 

all of the questions I use to ask

 

the times I'd call you on the telephone

 

for all those recipes

 

dear mama

 

you always said

 

deb, I wish you could carry a tune

 

deb, I wish I had all the answers for you

 

deb, you need all of the ingredients

 

to cook that pot of stew

 

dear mama

Its wonderful to have happy memories of the people we love. Too often as Shakespeare said," the good that a man does is oft interned with his bones." The horrors of life are burned into our mind's eye. But if given a chance there is the other side of the coin, having a longing for 'the good old days'. This poem is a wonderful tribute to your Mom and shows the tenderness you have for her in your heart. I like it very much.
