I Saw My Mother Poem by cora fazio

I Saw My Mother

Rating: 5.0


I was looking at my hair today
to check that it's just right.
Then to my amazement and wonder,
I saw a shocking site.
My mother looking back at me
I saw her in my face.
My mother gone so many years,
was right here in my place.
It didn't make me sad you know,
nor did I feel forlorn.
It brought to me a happiness
that to this family I was born.
So time may pass, oh yes it's true.
What more is there to say?
When you look into the mirror
you'll see your mom one day!

My oldest daughter already gets the comments on how much she looks like me....oh boy, does that make her day! Maybe one day she'll smile over it as you have. But it may take awhile. Wonderful poem! Sincerely, Mary

I have already Cora, it's an amazing realization, suddenly there she is again, back from the 'dead' so to speak. I always thought I looked more like my Father, but suddenly truth will out. Lovely poem, lovely story. Love Ernestine XXX
