Circles

 

She held her daughter in her arms

As she felt a mothers love,

Her husband, a casualty of war,

Watches from above.

 

She helped her daughter learn to walk

And fed her with great care

She helped her dress each morning,

And brushed her golden hair.

 

She watched her daughter as she grew,

And cried as she said I do.

The grandkids knew a grandmas love.

Their years together flew.

 

She helped her mother as she walked.

She fed her with great care.

She helped her dress each morning,

And brushed her silver hair.

 

She holds her Mother in her arms

As she feels a daughters love.

And feels her father’s presence

As she joins him up above

Behind The Poem: 

observing life

This is a well-written poem about cirles, it just let us all know how life evolves around those we

love and it just keep going around to each generation like a cicle of family and friends, etc

this poem portrayed so much family love and ties between a mother and a daughter and they

both thought about the one they loved when they were caring for each other. Its strange how life really is on this earth. I enjoyed reading it today.

When I read this I cried as it brought back memories of my mother..

I entered my 1st contest I didn't but they are publishing in one of their books.It was about my mother-its the one titled I no longer see her physically I hear her when she speaks to me..

Thank you for you have touched my not once but twice today;I would be honored if you'd except me as a friend..
