Roses For Mama

Hello I'm just leaving a comment because your poem really touched my heart... See my grandmother just passed away a month ago and she was like my second mom I loved her and this will be a sad mothers day without her...We used to do everything together but like your poem said we will meet again sum day!.!.!.!.

Your poem touched me deeply. My mom just passed away and it has been hard to do things at times. At times I think I hear her calling me, but it is my heart that is crying. Mama loved roses and so on her grave I will be placing her favorite red and white roses. I know as she looks down she will smile and I will send her a kiss to heaven. Thanks for the poem

I lost my mother in September and miss her so much. I know that Mothers Day will be a hard day for me this year. Thank you for the beautiful poem. It really touched me. God Bless

I just wanted to let you know that this poem touched way down deep. Mmy mom passed away 2 years ago of ovarian cancer and life gets harder and harder everyday now that's she's gone. I have been bounced from house to house. but now I am finally stable in one home. And it just hurts every mother's day she isn't around. but this poem got me through last mothers day and hoping it will get me through the one coming up....BRIT

When I read this poem I started crying. I lost my mom 15 years ago at the Thanksgiving Holiday. My mom was my best friend as my daughter has told me that I am her best friend. My mom has been more on my mind (more so than usual) for the past few months. She grew roses and she was ready to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus. Thank You so very much for this poem.

It's really sad to know that you all have lost such a lovely and precious personality.....Thanks to ALLAH that I have my Mom. But still this poem touched me for its sad and innocent expression. Thanks for this beautiful poem.

This is a beautiful poem. It touched my heart. It wasn't my first Mother's Day without my mother but my second. It doesn't get any easier. Thank you for writing and sharing this beautiful poem.

I love this poem..my own mother passed away 5 months ago, December of 2010 and so this mothers day will be very hard for me to deal with as it will be my first that she is away from home, my mothers favorite flower was always roses, so this poem really touches me and makes me think of my mother, as hard as that is to do sometimes without crying..thanks for writing such a beautiful poem....

Really touching poem about your mother. I lost my mother 45 years ago when I was only 20, and a brand new mother myself. Waked her on her last mothers day, my first one and my fathers birthday so it is not a easy holiday for me...even all these years later. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt feelings for others to see and feel for themselves.

Some of your poems are really touching to me. My mother passed away with lung cancer in Feb. 2005 not a day goes by that I don't think about her and wish I could here her voice, she left us a letter and said when you are missing me go out and look up into the sky and I will be the brightest star looking back at you, my daughter was pregnant with her first great grandchild that she never got to see, but I have taught her about her great nanny and we look up at the stars and pick out the brightest one and know that it is great nanny and if I some how forget she reminds me look for the brightest star she is Olivia and she is 6 now.

A very impressive poem. I never imagined that Mam will depart me one day because I was very attached to her. But it happened after a short period of illness.
I do not know how that sad day passed but the first night after her passing away I saw her in a dream coming and offering me a cup of milk. She was beautiful..not sick. I felt she is in a more beautiful and peaceful place .

My mother died in September, though she was unable to recognize us as her sons and daughters, she was always very sweet to us. She felt comfort, and secure with us. She loved to the last day music and roses, she used to cultivate them. Her garden was so so beautiful. I missing her so much. Thank you for your poem. It is as beautiful as a rose. We are so blessed to had a mother as them.

You wrote your feelings for dear mother so well, that while reading I send the same request to God to send flowers to my mother to. Mothers are such that no one on earth can take their place. In our religion, we are taught that if we want to go to heaven we have to find it under the feet of mother.

What a beautiful poem. It says everything that anyone whose lost their Mum must feel. I lost my Mum 40 years ago when I was 18 and there is not a day that goes past that I don't miss her. I went on to have 5 children and now 9 Grandchildren whom she never saw but I'm sure that she watches over us all and they all know what a wonderful person that unfortunately they never got to know. Mum use to say you won't miss me till I'm gone and never was there a truer word said. For those still lucky enough to still have your Mums cherish and tell them you love them its not quite the same saying it to a picture. Thanks once again for sharing your beautiful poem which has brought back such lovely memories. God Bless

Lovely poem, I lost my Mum 22 years ago but it is an appropriate poem and tribute to my Mum.xxx

This is soo beautiful! I used it to send greetings to my mother in law. Very touching.

I don't have no story to share, but just reading this poem makes me even more appreciative of my mother.

Roses for Mama was written for me. My mother died two years ago after a short illness. She had her ways and was very strict when we grew up. We were taught to honor our parents, so as I write this I am so moved that someone has had the same experience. I used to send my mother flowers also and she used to say why don't you send me the money instead. That hurt me a lot when she would say this to me; not that she wanted the money, when all I really wanted was for her to be happy and know I loved her. Yet when I read this poem I still want to give her flower and can't. Love is a strange thing. I am learning still even though today is my sixty third birthday. One day I will meet my mom on the shores of Jubilee and then we too can pick flowers of any kind together, even roses.
