Tears for Mama

Summer rain
sun shines
here up on the hill

Mama, our angel
overseeing paradise
here on earth

So much love
here in the valley
so much love
here in the valley

I have never known
anywhere else in
this world

Nothing but love
and lots of hugs

Electric Blue

Such love for Mama

This one deserves the attention and nomination for sure, I love it Maggie and I know how you have shared with me the peace in her passing and just how much Mama meant to you. I think what you have written here says it all and left me a tear to fall. The valley is forever alive with Mama by your side. Her spirit is still there with you everyday. Love you friend Mona Hugs at you Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.

Mona Sorry re the late response I am still taking care of business it is so slow. Down by the river Mama's spirit resides nearby I see her in the forest - in the summer rain. I long for the valley so green night time is a wonderful scene sky of midnight blue star like sequins shine so brilliantly I walk the mountain - reach up and touch the sky and pick a star to hold in my hand transport me take my hand to the promise land Thank you for looking in on my words for Mama always Maggie xx

What a touching tribute Blue, I feel with you and your loss. Mamma sounds special, like someone we all should know. Julie D.D.

Julie Thank you my friend. I expected mama to live for at least 300 years. So much love has she so many hugs. A special memory was me making Buscuits and gravy in her kitchen whilst we talked down in the valley waking up the family with the smells going through the house one by one they all crawled out of beds ha! Mama was/is sharp and witty right to the end and could make your hair curl with things she said she makes me smile right now. hugs Magz
