There's a valley in New Brunswick
that means the world to me.
It sets the very standard of
what nature ought to be.
A river clear and blue,
a panoramic view
gentle slopes filled with trees.
That valley in New Brunswick
still means the world to me.

There's a woman in Barker's Point
that means the world to me.
She is a daily vision
of femininity.
A mind that's clear,
no open fears
a blue-eued beauty queen.
That woman in Barker's Point
still means the world to me.

There's a little boy in his bed
and he means the world to me.
His Mom and I watch him there
as he sleeps in peace
He's got her eyes
and my blond hair,
with looks we both can see.
That little boy in his bed
still means the world to me.

There's a mother I must mention
still means the world to me.
She groomed my place in this space
for all the world to see.
I still love her equally
now she awaits the paradise
when she took her final sleep
There's a mother I must mention,
still means the world to me.


Sadly my Mom passed away this past January 26th and I do miss her so........However, I have a heart full of the best memories a son could store up forever.

I liked this, the repetition of means the world to me in each stanza was very clever! I really enjoyed reading it

there is a poet in this world that means the world to us...within a great valley of eyes within the sun of a great northern state
neighbor, friend, poet, boy....

she is very proud of you...very proud!

A very intense moment of connection to your beloved ones.
