The Sacrifices Of My Mother, My Mother, Mother Child Poem

The Sacrifices Of My Mother

I was four years old when my father was killed suddenly in a tragic accident. Our lives changed that day. My mother, poorly educated, was forced to face a difficult reality. Although this poem was written many years after her death, this tribute to her is long overdue.

My Mother

Published by Family Friend Poems May 26, 2025 with permission of the Author.

As I sit here, reflecting on my life winding down
My thoughts turn to my mother
violently thrown into the role of a single parent
engulfed in panic, about not only her future, but my future
I have no idea, the dark thoughts within her,
she never spoke of them
I was a child without a care in the world
She was trying to make it through another day
However, my mother would not let this twist
Of fate defeat her
She pushed the sorrow away over the death of my dad
And with the help of family stabilized our future
So, mom although this message is 40 years too late
Thank you
