An ode to Mom

In the depths of my memory you shall forever live sweet mother of mine. How could I forget the love that you gave and the lessons you taught? I've no more tears to shed no blood in my heart to bleed. You've gone your way leaving the ones who cared agonized,desolate and distraught. Toleration was your forte forgiveness your strength. Your caring words and tender touch were always there whenever I yelled played havoc or fought I know you're up there somewhere looking down on me. Showering your blessings from above. And that's what's kept me going in this stressed out life so short. Chuck Shorter
