My Mother

Dedicated to my Mother Julia Johnson who past away at 97 years old March 6th 2011 after sufferring with Alzheimer-Dementia and lived with me for the past 2 1/2 years

 

My mother has always been my best

friend,

By my side even when Alzheimer-Dementia set

in.

I think of my mother all the

time,

Reflecting on the past when she was in her

prime

Wishing she was still connected in her mind of

yesterday,

But then again she wouldn't want it any other

way.

I love my mother for what she

did,

Memories has gotten harder for her as a

kid.

She was there when I was sick and needed a

hug,

Alzheimer-Dementia is a disease that's a mind numbing

thug.

When needed she made my childhood really

fun,

She was always full of laughter under the hot

sun.

My mother always put us kids first no matter what it

took,

She was the greatest and that can never be in a

book.

I will miss her memory as the child comes out in

me,

She wouldn't want me to cry because of what I now

see.

 

Dedicated to My Mother Julia Johnson who past away March 6^th 2011 you will be missed R.I.P.

mothers ... are poetry, themselves ... I feel your longing and nostalgia for a wonderful woman in your life ... and your poem evokes EXACTLY the same feelings in me for mine ...

This was very touching, you know how to make rhyming really work. I'm lucky to also have a friendly Mom.
