Evermore Poem by Doris Cornago

Evermore

Rating: 5.0


I suddenly realize how much more
I am blessed like a tree open
To the ground sucking the
Fulness of the earth
Feeling the wind
Rustling
Through
Leaves
Gently

As
Love
Found me
I will draw
Forth the bounty
Of this lovely discovery
Tears...laughter...life unending
Please let me roam freely evermore

Evermore

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My mom's birthday on 7/7/2017 made me realize that her life's pattern is mine, too, with the difference that I am gifted with the strength and time to express what she had failed to express during the time she can still move her hands to write or use her voice to speak. Thus, I am struck with the burden of writing all in poems her thoughts as she had expressed to me while she was still able.

I'm glad that you enjoyed. Our mothers have made us into nurturing beings by showing us how to share with no thought except to be generous about what we have. :)

When we think of love, we usually think of someone outside our family. What can be more elevating than filial love? Our love for our mothers is the highest love devised by God to make us into nurturing human beings. So, the next time you feel lost, just think about your mom and the house you shared with her. :)

We are our mothers' extension. She will live on through me. She is already 90 years old and unable to speak or write but still very strong in her mind. :)
