Remembering Mama
Remembering Mama:
To my Mother Marie Pear

I Remember Mama
was a book and a movie,
the only thing I remember
about either
was that the woman
loved and missed her mother.

I can sympathize
because I miss my Mama
every day.

Sometimes the memories
are accompanied
by teardrops falling from my soul:
I smile through the rain
knowing that Mama now lives
in paradise.

Mama
raised four children--
without the help of our father--
on a food server's salary.

Her emotional support systems,
God and her parents.

Line Count: 21
Form: Free verse style stanzas with some random end rhymes.
Written for "Honoring the Dead" Open in new Window.
