Mom Accordingly, You Are Loved Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Mom Accordingly, You Are Loved

Rating: 5.0


When I look in the mirror,
I see your face.

When I eat biscuits,
My, how delicious you taste!

I see you in my red stripped kitchen towel,
carefully drying your cast-iron skillet

I smell you in the aroma of Louisiana coffee,
waffling throughout the house.

In spring greens in botanic garden,
I feel your green thumb.

In snowy winter nights, I feel
your warm love blanketing me

In nightmarish day and night dreams,
Mom, its thoughts of you that calm my fears

Mom, I see the whole of you in my sons, daughter
Grandchildren, and even the unborn

Mom, I see your eyes in the stars; your smiling sun;
see you in the oak tree gently pruning each branch!
