Momma's Odyssey Comments

ahhhhh James...... so beautiful a tribute to your mother...... and so true. I too came up from poverty and due to the beauty of my grandmother Gracie's soul never felt poor. She taught me, through her actions, riches were present in ones soul and there for the taking. Like you, it wasn't until later in life that I realized just how poor we were back then and how hard it must have been on her. Thank you James for sharing this reminder of our roots, Shirley

Wonderful is the poem...still more wonderful is your note...and the best of all is the most suitable wonderful title....thanks for this wonderful piece

What a wonderful mentor your Mother has been to you. Once grown, you realized you were poor but rich indeed with love. A beautiful poem, James, written with such dignity and pride. Karin Anderson

This Sir James, is more than a, 'Hall Mark' of words! All I can further say is, that your Mother did right by you. Do you have any brothers or sister who also write poetry? I would have loved to had known your mother. One day I will meet her and tell her what a gift of her life's Odyssey, she has given to the world throught her son James.

She was an Angel that God welcomed with open arms. What a beautiful tribute to a lady who made you the special man you are today. Wonderful! 10+ Warm Wishes, Marilyn
