Momma Poem by Jim Milks

This poem is for you.
in my heart, you lie forever still.
In blissful sleep I dream of what I miss
her gentle heart and warm embrace.
The healing touch of a mother’s kiss.
Her quiet strength and gentle ways
has taught me well and will always
Here I stand all grown, a man
but in my mind I do declare
and cry out with despair
'Oh Momma, I love you'
'Oh Momma, I need you'
I am too big now to cry,
but there is a tear
momma, in my eye.
