Ma Ma

Posted Aug 18, 2011 · 11 lines · 2 critiques

As I watch you my sweet Ma Ma sleeping in your bed,
so many old memories start flowing through my head.

Of times when I was little and you were always there,
giving your love so tender as nothing can compare.

It's so hard to see you so confused and so unaware,
of where you are or who I am it just seems so unfair.

But I'm sure the Lord is with you and keeps you in his care,
far from pain and suffering his love for you is clear.

So good night my sweet Ma Ma,good night and sleep tight,
I'll be back again tomorrow to be right by your side.

In loving memory of my grandma .....

"My only quibbles would be the lack of a space after some of the commas and this line here > "People really need may attack you if you help them." I think you should add these words "People *who* really need *you*....."…"

"For God's sake, doesn't anyone glance over the remarks? I mean, how much time does it take to glance through the commentaries? Lou? Ian? This is not original work and as far as I know, it needs accreditation. ~A"

"I Think this poem was spot on as far as it's assessment of alot of people in this world, and I liked the positive slant you gave it. It may be just personal taste, but I think it would be better not to repeat the word…"

"Yes it is, however, the original *source* is needed to be attributed, lest one things the poster @Neopoet wrote it. Which I hope would be an issue with anyone. ~A"
