"Momma
Always Said"
how familiar is that saying
to all of us with loving
mothers
how many times have we heard
the phrase expressed
for
it is the mother
who raises us
and teaches us the fundamentals of life
giving
us our physical and moral compass
from our first baby steps
to our
stepping out on our own
mothers are the ones who are always there
teaching
and telling
offering support and encouragement
band-aids and kisses
how sad it must be for those without mothers
they never get an honest chance
at life
and are burdened with fear and insecurity
their whole psyche damaged
by
the want of mother's love
all that is good stems from mothers
they are the glue that hold our world together
and bind us to each other
when
mom's pass away
the family moves apart
relationships diminish
and it
is never the same
their passing leaves a chasm in the heart
yet ever
their words remain with us,
like landmarks guiding us
so we do not lose
our way
each day we hear their admonitions
"Momma Always Said"
ringing in our minds and on our lips
A mother's words live on
long
after they are gone
and while years pass and lives forever change
still
we hear them speaking
like echoes from the past
"Momma Always Said"
A fitting tribute to
their eternal love.
