Our Earthly Mother's Poem by AHO Speaks

Our Earthly Mother

Ma has gone and I am all alone
Ma has gone and no longer at home
My Mother was everything to me
That which was soft, beautiful and gentle; you see.

My Mother was the protector and the one who was here
To hold, talk and feed me and remove all fear
Ma was always home when I did arrive
Without her home made ginger bread, I would have died.

My Ma did not see what I beget as she beget me
But I know my Ma is happy forever, in eternity
My Ma had seven childen and was blest
As she shared her blessing with those in the nest.

I see my Ma every morning and every night
She is one of the stars of heavenly light
I could never deny my Irish Mother as a Ma
So distinctive and embracing and who taught me how to say; 'car'.

I know my Ma is ok and is doing well
My Mother who gave me all my love and did it so well
Our love will meet again my beloved Mother
Your love was special even tho shared with another.
