Smiles to you

For your rhyming poem about your mother--
who you deserved much more than pain,
a life filled with struggle and tears.
If there was a way, I'd find it today,

It reminds me of my mother when she worked in a sweat
a factory, in the clothing industry.

Nice Poem and well directed words to the most loved person for you!! It is important to remember that we go back to her all the time we need love. Your description is perfectly understandable from an adult point of view, as when we were young there are things that are not so clear for our minds. Great expression in the picture! Mona Lisa Smile is a great comparison! Thanks for sharing!

I'm afraid most of have the same regrets after our parents are no longer around - it's as we get to their age do we understand more about what drove them to their actions. Thank you for sharing this poignant tribute to your mother.

So beautifully said and written in rhyme. It tells a lovely story of mom and her struggles. This is a great tribute to her life, and I am sure it filled you with so much grief to write this.
A wonderful story of mom.
Wishing you much luck in the contest.

I liked you description of her smile as:

'A Mona Lisa smile she wears,
that doesn't quite reach her eyes.'

This is so true of the Mona Lisa.

The whole thing is a fine tribute to your mother. I think a lot us feel a bit like that about our mothers.

Wow, this is so beautiful image of your mother special light:"
A Mona Lisa smile she wears,
that doesn't quite reach her eyes.
An effort that failed to show happiness,
to me it was quite a surprise." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

This work has reached the exceptional level

"Mom you deserved much more than pain,
a life filled with struggle and tears.
If there was a way, I'd find it today,
to embrace you like when you were near."
You have written a great tribute to your mom. I am sure that even if you didn't express it, she knew you loved her.
