Greatest love

Memorial of my dearest beloved

                 

Put my bag on the table after work

Capture of sight into your picture

Travel back in time when I still hear your tap toe

Welcome embrace when I back home from reading scripture

Set a dinner at the table and start a simple conversation

                Where have you been son ? how your day ?

                Just reply with a smile and  gently  say

           “It was good I got my lesson”

                She reply with a smile and caress my head

           “ good boy “

Sacrifice of a single mother to raise her beloved

Pure love, compassion and honestly she kept in my head

Play the piano, sing a song, the most lovely sounds I ever heard

Sing along together a soulful and jazzy sound, we have never been apart

Dance around with full of joy, so much happiness that makes me glad

          A memory that will never could be replaced

Even now,  you rest eternally in the creator loving arms

And all I can do just touch into the stone of your grave

Where your body buried deep from the surface

 

                Your voice still reverberates in my heart

 my soul still dance into your song that beat

about   

  The Greatest Love I ever had

(Memorial of my beloved mother Farida Kristiani Tjahja pass away at 21 July 1995)

I never had the love of a mother. Nor the love of a father. But this piece touched my heart in a way I have not felt in several years. I love what u wrote, and the compassion and love that flows so perfectly from ur words.

[Edward Lancheister]

thank you for the kindness review, sorry if you haven't felt the love from your parent but there always a greatest love that you already have from the people around you :) bless

The love of a mother is the first that we know, you describe it well in here. I have not experienced the loss of my mother yet, but I know I must face it some day. I hope I can do it with the grace you have shown here. Be assured she lives on in you and your family.
I wrote about how our predecessors live on in the younger generations in my poem Handed Down, about my grandmother and my grandson, please take a look http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/NoelHC/1385355/

This touched a deep chord. The love is tangible and cries out in every line. I am so fortunate that my beloved mother and father are still with me and that I am blessed because they are. Time of course is the greatest of thieves and will not be stayed, but it can never steal those precious memories.

Beccy.
