The following poem was submitted by Filomena Frantantoni. It was published in a collection in the early 1990s.
"Mother"
Someone who loves you no matter what you say and do.
Someone who understands and talks to you.
Someone who does not judge the things you do.
Never take her for granted. Love her and cherish her for all the things she does.Tell her you love her before it's too late, then you never can. She will not hear you anymore.
To never see her smiling face, tear filled eyes, sometimes sad. You'll miss her calls, her visits, oh just to see her walking up the front steps one more time. God do I miss her.
You'll wish she was there to share special times in your life. Just to tell her "I LOVE YOU" one more time, would mean the world to me.
