What a delightful memory and a great poem. My parents read to me too, when I was growing up and it is such a fantastic thing to do for kids, even teenagers until they won't let you anymore! LOL
I enjoyed this. So sweet.

Darling poem that is so sweet. I was never read to, so when my children came along I was sure to dedicate myself to reading to them every night. You have such a lovely voice in this piece...it could be a Mother Goose write. Now I read to my cats each night from whatever book I have chosen for myself. It puts them right to lullaby land.

    Thank you, Sherry for your very nice words, review and stars. A soft,
    soothing voice is nearly always a good thing for little ones to hear. Too bad we grow up and become too old to be read too.

    If we were neighbors I would come and read to you every night!

Ah, this was a wonderful memory poem about your mom: it rhymed well, the rhythm was steady and your choice of words was stunning. I remember my father reading Bible stories to me. Strange, I never wrote a poem about it and I've written many poems.

    Amahra, thank you for the nice review and stars. Having your mother or father read you too sleep is a very special thing, something to
    place in our mind's memory book.

This is wonderful storytelling, Willie. You set this work up, almost as if it were its own nursery rhyme, which I think is very fitting, given the topic. Well done with this happy memory poem. Thank you for sharing!

What a delightful poem and one that brings so many old (for me sixty years) memories. You words flow like a country stream and they take me back to the wonderful days of my childhood. Thank you.

Willie P. Smith:

I love that your mom put you to sleep by reading poems to you which is what likely led to your love of writing. I really like your happy poem for this contest. Best of luck to you.

You were truly blessed. Sadly I have no such memories. My two older sisters fostered the desire to read and the love of reading and oddly enough the sound of my own voice. To this day I love reading aloud as I love to hear my voice reciting some of my favorite writings, poems, scriptures, etc. I have been blessed with a deep and sonorous bass voice and I am most grateful for it.

Willie,

You make me think of so many of the folks who used to read to me, too. There's nothing in the world like two people snuggled together with a book while one reads. It's an intimate and magical moment. It's special, special. Thanks for creating a poem to honor those times. Hugs-

A lovely and happy poem for the contest. I used to read poems and stories to my children at bedtime. Sometimes one of the poems will come to me, and I can still recite it from memory. I hope they remember those days as fondly as you do.

Blessings
Janet

    Janet, children never forget the soft, loving voice of a parent reading
    to them. Ask them.

The author's words are sweet, descriptive, interesting and creative. I pondered on Nursey Rhymes and remember them well. I found these
words to be a lovely memory. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and compliments these words.
