David Tanguay

A Mother’s Day Tribute (Poem)



Posted: Friday, May 06, 2011

by David Tanguay

She was born on March 3rd. 1911

Today she is with the Lord - up in heaven

She bore 11 children - and raised them right

Through the days - and into the night

In front of a stove - preparing our meals

Was one of her - oh - so many appeals

Getting us all - off to school everyday

Was a task in itself - in which she did pay

Sunday church services - were a must

For in the Lord - she put all her trust

Memories are all - I have to this day

Reaching to her - is only with prayer

She has joined my father - in heaven above

Along with the Lord - they share their love

This mother’s day I offer to her - a tribute

The love I have for her - I will contribute

Thank you mother - for all you have done

This love I feel for you - as your loving son

I wrote an article on SearchWarp almost 4 years ago about my mother if anyone cares to read it click here /swa247274.htm
