Memory of a Mother
(I was raised by my stepmother Sonja.
A beautiful and wonderful lady who died too young.)
Names given are earned.
Not easy to become.
You were a mother to many.
You try to love all of us.
Errors made in a life haunted your dreams and life.
The good deeds overcame all your mistakes.
Mother and Mama. Sweet words spoken to a woman who loved her children.
You shall be to me.
Mama Sonja for your gift of love.

Very sweet . I am sure she was able to hear the words from where her spirit exists.
I am often depressed on Mother’s day for different reasons. I think that there are many people who feel sad on mother’s day, even though thankfully it is a happy day for many people.
I try to be thankful that so many people can enjoy the day.
Much Love,
Annie

I agree Annie. I did visit her once weekly. I brought her her favorite snacks and food. I believe love given will be returned if given without the want of reward.

A hard poem to write. I wrote it after her death. I did show kindness and appreciation to her. Thank you for reading and the comment.
