A Mother's Words Poem by Joseph Anderson
A Mother's Words
I remember, still remember
Though she's lately gone ahead;
They still linger, always linger
Precious words my momma said.
Oft, she spoke of patience, virtue,
Peace and joy gained by giving;
She felt love, compassion, kindness
Paved the pathways of our living.
Her words were inspiration
When beset with storms and strife
And her poise and deep contentment,
Became the guideline for my life.
She led me through the darkest
To pursue a better day
And if those paths became too rough,
She would simply kneel and pray.
I'll remember, long remember
Till I take my final bed;
Words of beauty, words of wisdom,
Words my dear, sweet momma said.
1983

This brought tears to my eyes Joseph. She must have been a wonderful Mum. Well written.
On reading this beautiful tribute to your mother, I am reminded of my mother. I feel so much of similarity between the two. Indeed they were wonderful mothers! May be this is every child's claim! Sir, if you find time, I invite you to read my poem 'The Drop of a Feather'!
Mother always do and say the best for her kids...and here i witnessing you say the best reply as a son..beautiful way of returning love back from the giver..peace for you two :) :)
Mother, one of the greatest words uttered. Where do they get all that wisdom? I'm simply happy that they are as wise as they are. It makes for better mothering. Thanks Joseph for this lovely work. Welcome back.
This poem is so beautiful Joseph. My heart was very touched after reading this very thoughtful write. A wonderful mother full of wonder and grace. Very heartwarming.
It felt such sorrow reading this. I am glad you have such amazing memories of your mother. I too think of my own mother as you do, only the words you have written express a feeling I could never capture if I wrote such a thing.
