Mother's Way Poem by Val Brooklyn Rogers

For a real special occasion I bought a full bed of blue roses.
Especially for you.
The mother I solitarily toast to over strawberry coolers and
Frozen lemonade. I boast of one thousand blue roses at your
Door step. And FILLING every room on this sundrenched afternoon
Of a holiday. I rehearsed these lines in my mind several times

I hope that you have abundant health and copious
Amounts of wealth. I owe my life to you.
I do adore you mother dear, such as FLAMES adore the air.

I met her gaze a motherly stare. She greeted me and warmly
And strongly the Caribbean Matron that she is.
'Hello darling child. I missed you for miles and miles wide.
Come in side.'
I handed her the enormoes blue bouquet. ' Oh thank you.
The roses are so..... so.....' She was at a loss for words.
I finished the statement for her. 'Breath taking mommy.
Breath taking.'
She smiled her diamond studded ever best smile.
