O, Mother
They say there are seven wonders in this world
I believe they didn´t realise to my surprise that they,
forgot you, the eight wonder a true light thunder.
I know the son came out a bit wrong
Don´t worry he is changing his song
Good and more bad decisions he´s made
but, believe me he won´t trade, anymore
your happiness with other screwed up mess.
The son is doing a rewrite
With all his might
You know he can fight, but
this time doing it right
he has dialed in good direction his sights.
O, Mother
don´t bother no more
you´re son will score
will leave in the past his stupid little war
Stay Frosty gents and gentess.
What a lovely tribute, Carlos!! just lovely and warms my heart to read this.
Thank´s,she is the most important person in this world a, good news….she can´t read English.
My dear friend, translate it for her in your beautiful language someday…when I hear just a few nice things my son or daughter say about me, I could fly. It warms a mother’s heart. You are a good person, Carlos:)
This is really beautiful. I think she would love to hear it.
Thank´s Kate, but we´re not the talk a lot “love you” saying constantly type of family. Actions speak louder than words. She knows I love her, just have to turn the screws of my head here and there to correct course sometimes.
I completely understand. I have the same type of family. The poem is a wonderful expression of your love. I’ve felt a lot of love and hope in your poems lately 🙂
Now that you say it, it does seem I´ve been writing in that direction……..I´m becoming a wimp!
Being a wimp can be good thing sometimes…especially when you’re writing poetry 🙂
Excellent poem charlypriest! 🙂
Thank you Padaek
Awww that is so sweet! Your mom is a lucky lady.
I´m the one who is lucky
This is so lovely. Mothers are rather nice fairly often 🙂
Your mom would be proud if she could read these words – I am sure they would touch her heart. Actions DO make a difference…but NEVER underestimate the power of heartfelt words.
Nice one Charly dear!!
…and no wonder why the winters are appearing warm. Your words truly are radiating out a lot of warmth!
That was probably one of the best comments, I´m even radiating myself after reading it. Thank´s for the kind words.
Your mother is a wonder for me too 😀 🙂 !!!!!
She´s actually a serial killer……but, you have to love them for who they are I guess. She scares the sh..t out of me. That´s why I wrote the poem to make amend with her, or rather so she won´t hurt me more, you know like tying me up and putting me in the basement for days on end……
two thumbs up – oh Master Poet ❤ ❤
Miss. Prior,you don´t have a husband so it´s miss, just responding to say….Thank´s.
Awwh Charly !!! This is so very sweet ! I hope your mum sees this. This is heart warming to read 🙂
Is that you talking………did you just say “heart warming..” I think is not you really.
But if it is you, it´s nice that you say that
It is me and I can be nice too, Just as you can be nice at times too 😉 ❤
Thank you little dévil hope your exams went good, pretty sure you did more Than good
Yeah they went well, Waiting for the result now which seems pretty non existent considering these days. Thanks 🙂
Beautiful. Bet your mother loved it. :0)
Thank you, althought she doesn´t read or speak english but that´s´o.k. She doesn´t need to read it she knows
Just beautiful, Charly!! Mothers like to be shown, but sweet heartfelt words are great, too!! ❤
I also really liked the flow and how you formatted this, the bold and the red…
Great post, Mr. Priest!!
Thank you, people seemed to think I was talking about my own mother, but I was actually talking in general after I read a post of a mother talking about her daughter and quite some story that was.
