Even though I am reading this post late, I am grateful that FanStory highlighted the poem so I did not miss it. Thank you for sharing your mother's sage lessons and your wisdom to follow them. May she rest in peace and may her love always embrace you. Well done- Joan

What a lovely dedication! What a mother! She reminds me of my own. After maturing myself, I followed her advice too.
Loved the visuals because it brought back my own memories. Great job.

The beauty of this poem is that throughout your portrayal you are honest about what you listened to and what you didn't. It brought to mind very sharply all the past advice received from one's mother and it truly made my heart ache. This was a beautiful, heartfelt, poem. I loved it.

I love this! I think many will be able to relate. My mom and I had our differences in the past but we do have a lot of memories now. Big hugs my dear.

Very sweetly and lovingly written. I like the way, that in the beginning, you show how the advice of a mother to a daughter was rather shunned or taken lightly. Then, along the way in the verses you show how the advice is more accepted by the daughter. This is as it is in the journey of life. We start out not wanting to listen, then we listen and understand, and then one day they're gone and we understand totally. I also like the way you didn't rhyme in this poetry, but it flowed like a conversation or a though or memory. Good luck in the contest.

wow, that truly is wonderful. It says as much about you as it does your mother. A beautiful tribute to your mum. I can't imagine a nicer tribute to any mother. My Mum is no longer here, but I'll offer these words to her tonight in a prayer.
