Please sing to me a lullaby As love's lost tears you gently dry Let me kneel down at your feet And listen as I softly weep Lightly touch me on the brow As only mothers do know how Take me mother, hold me near As you feel my every tear Listen to my broken heart About my love that's come apart I'll even let you say you know And how it was you told me so I'd give anything to feel you near Give anything to have you here Protect me now from up above Protect me with undying love If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Tracey~ This brought gentle tears~ 'Take me mother, hold me near As you feel my every tear Listen to my broken heart About my love that's come apart I'll even let you say you know And how it was you told me so I'd give anything to feel you near Give anything to have you here Protect me now from up above Protect me with undying love' Touching tenderly my memories~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Tracey, this is so touching. I know whenever I am upset, and holding it in, I have only to speak to my Mom, and it brings on the tears. Cause thats the one person that would always listen and care. Excellent poem, too. Sandra |

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I lost my mother a few years ago, and when I'm blue, I miss her even more than usual. This was my way of getting it out Sea-I think many of us have Mothers that say I told you so, but we love them for it Janet Marie-so glad you enjoyed it Marge-I'm glad it touched your memories. Hopefully all good ones SmittenKitten-thanks for the hugs. I need them Arthur-thank you for those high words of praise RSWells-thanks for that hug. I can never have too many Zinsser-I'm glad you enjoyed it Sandra-enjoy those times with your Mom. One day you'll look back on them very fondly Smart Chick-I'm glad it reminds you of your Mom too. Sven-thank you for your kind words |

 Very lovely, and moving, Tracey! This reminds me of my Grandma and how I feel about her in heaven~ I'm sure that your mom reads this from above  Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound...or a smiling mouth" ~Kahlil Gibran~ [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 09-26-2001).] |

Tracey, you've done it this time. This is beautiful and a little sad for me. Next week, it will be one year since my mother died. We were never close. But I do remember her telling me 'I told you so' twice, and although both times she was right, I never told her so. Wish I could now. |

Melissa-I read your poem about your grandmother and it touched me also Angel Girl-glad you enjoyed it Midnight Sun-it's always annoying when our mothers are right. But, like you, I too wish I could tell her again Rex-we never stop thinking of our Mom's, no matter how long it's been If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Tracey- I was looking at the past weeks poems as I've been gone from Passions for quite some time...and I came across this jewel. This was sad but very beautiful. I too have lost my Mom...so I know what you say here. I feel your writing deep inside of me!! Take care hon. Amy P.S. If ever you wanna talk, feel free to drop me a note. "I could kiss you in |

I missed this one the first time around. This touched me so deeply. Many tears. Mom's lap holds the world sometimes. I loved this so much Tracey. Big Hugs! Sincerely, Regina |
