Mothering Sunday 14th March this year, and that date when many panic, suddenly remember, and make a last minute dash to the shops to purchase inflated priced flowers, chocolates or the like.
Lots of other people of course remember “good Ol’ mum Day” and make their tributes to these largely paragons of our society. Also again of course, it should not be for the “one” day, but every day all year round. I am sure it is, well at least I think I’m sure?
How will you be treating or remembering your mum? Wonderfully I expect, so have a great day….
To help celebrate this Mothering Sunday 14th March, I have been again invited to read a poem I wrote as my tribute to mothers generally, on BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey at 3.45pm as part of Sylvie Blackmore show that airs Sunday’s 2 – 6.
Apart from reading my poem I will be chatting about my “Poetry World & Help for Heroes Support”, the charity I donate and collect for, who care for our wounded service people.
From my 4th book “Life Scene in Verse” initially, comes my poem for mums =
Cradle to the Grave
A lilting voice from the past
That will affect you like no other.
Bringing love and goose bumps too,
For it can only be your mother.
The one who always from your birth
Stood by you with no quaking,
Though inside she cried bitter tears
If bad decisions you were making,
Or was given cause to be upset
At your failure to return the love,
Which will always be too late
After she is taken to live above.
For a mother always looks with pride
At your first shaky steps to walk,
Across your rocky paths in life
Since she first helped you to talk.
Thus had also been there for you
From that cradle to the grave,
Watching out for all those dangers
As your soul she tried to save.
So when others reject and doubt you
Your doting mother will be there,
To ensure she can protect you
With unconditional loving care,
That first began when as a child
You needed succour and a kiss,
Given with uncomplaining lips
You will always sorely miss.
A lilting voice from the past
You will remember all your years,
Though may not always appreciate
Until her passing brings your tears.
So while you have her, be ever nice
To your solid embracing fir,
Who whatever heartbreak you cause
Will still put you first, before her.
So there we are, our wonderful mums…..
