59 Year's For 59 Glorious Blessings Poem by howard keithwest

59 Year's For 59 Glorious Blessings
With The Kiss Of God And Heaven Upon My Face
With The Embrace Of A God Fearing Mother To Show Me The Way

All Hats Out For The One Who Lived Life
With Style And Grace
Whom Lived Life With A Regal Sense Of Dignity

Befitting A Precious Saint
With Love And Compassion And Passion Unequaled
Praising And Worshiping And Holy Spirit Dancing

In The Presence's Of The Lord Jesus
So Mom You Wear Your Robe Of Glory Well
Well Indeed Very Well Indeed

To The Woman Who Touched And Blessed Five Generation's
Five Generation's Spread Over 59 Year's
That Loved And Adored You So Very Very Much

For The Good That You Do And Did And Have Done
Then Far Too Soon And Far Too Quickly You Were Gone
Mom I Belatedly Thank You For The Teaching And All Of The Training

All That You Said And All That You Did In Deed And Actions
Like You Drumming The Serenity Prayer Into My Subconsciousness
When This Son Didn't Want To Hear It

And When This Son Me Myself And I Had A Stubborn Speech Impediment
You Prepared Me For A Mean And Cruel World
That Was Hiding In Ambush And Waiting Right Outside Of My Front Door

And You Taught Me The Serenity Of Not Moving On
And Reacting To The Negative Emotions And Anger And Frustrations
But Rather To Have The Courage To

Move On The Thing's That I Could Influence And Change
And You Taught Me To Have The Wisdom To Know The Differences
Between The Two

And That's A Blessing Mom
That's Certainly Is A Blessing Mama
You Were The Wellspring's Of Life's Abundant Living Water's That Nurtured Me

And Sustained Life For Today And Hope For All Of My Tomorrows
And Mama Do You Remember The Many Time's That You Told Me
That If You Had Three Son's

And One Was A Senator
And The Second Son Was A Congressman
And The Third Son Was A Garbageman

That You Would Love Them All The Same
Not preferring the second to the first
Are the first to the third

Mama You Gave Me The Approval That Allowed Me To Break On Through
To The Other Side Of Any And All Different Mountain Or Valley Type Experiences
Or Life's many spirit breaking and draining Barrier's

A Thousand And One Different Type's Of Barrier's
And That Very Moment I Found Out A Little About God's Ability
To Be No Respecter Of Person's Just As The Bible Says

And Mama You Were Pretty Much Like The Apostle James
When He Told A Man You Show Me Your Faith Without Work's
And I Will Show You My Faith With Work's

And The Bible Went On Farther In Another Passage Of Scripture's
Saying That Faith Without Work's Is Dead
So Mama You And Me And God Know Deep Down In Ours Knowers

That Yours Faith Was Never Ever Really Dead
But Always Alive And Kicking And Breathing
And Mama I Do Remember The Long Talks About The Bird's And The Bee's

And the Flower's And The Tree's And The Moon Up Above
And A Thing Called Love Sweet Love
When You Would Drill Me In The Proper Way To Speak To A Girl

Looking At Her Eye's And Not At Her Breast Her Waist Line
Or Her Hip's Or Her Thighs
Yes Mama In Your Boson Was Nurtured And Demonstrated True Respect And Love

That Divine Type Of Love That GOD Wanted All Mankind To Possess
Uncompromising And Unconditional Love From The Heart Of Almighty GOD
And Mama That Was Back In The Day's When Aretha Franklin

Was Singing R*E*S*P*E*C*T* Tell Me What That's Means To Me
You Were The One Who Told Me That The Only Way I Could
R*E*S*P*E*C*T* You Is To R*E*S*P*E*C*T* Every Woman And Girl

Every Woman And Girl That I Would Come Across In My Life Time
No Matter How Undeserving They Were Or Even If They Didn't
R*E*S*P*E*C*T* Themselves

Mama You Taught Me If The Odds Are 100 To 1 To Stick Around
To The Bitter End And Put Up A Good Fight
You Are The Woman My Mother Who Taught Me To Live Life To The Fullest

In The Milli-Second And Nano-Second For All That's It Is Worth
Mama You Taught Me The Value Of A Good Education
And Good Old Fashion Common Sense And The Overwhelming Power

Of... Of... Wisdom And Wisdom Is One Of The Last Thing's
That Will Fail You In This Journey That We So Often Call Life
And Mama You Taught That If I Just Had To Go Astray Not To

Stay Gone Astray But To Come On Back Home To GOD
Something We All Can Always Do
Because GOD Loved Us So Much That He Gave His Only Begotten Son

That Whosoever Believed In Him Could Always Just Come On Back Home
My Mother Who lived And Still Lives In Glory With Style And Grace
And The Regal Beauty Of Dignity And A Strong Quiet Strength

Befitting A Saint All Hat's Off In Honor And Respect To The One
Who Lived And Still Lives In GOD'S Glorious Light
With Style And Grace Mama I Will Love You For A Eternity
