My Mama

Gina Louise Roth 1973 (Pennsylvania)

Big Brown eyes and short dark hair
 That's my mama over there
 She lights up a room with her big beautiful smile
 You'll want to be with her and hang for a while
 My mama's name they call her Marie
 Short and tiny and cute as can be
 She's giving and caring and loving so much
 She'll melt your heart with her soft gentle touch
 To everyone else she may be another
 But to me she'll always be my mother
 Big Brown eyes and short dark hair
 I see my mama over there

    Wow, this poem is beautifully written and truly captures the essence of a loving mother. The descriptions of your mother's appearance and personality are so vivid and heartwarming. I love how you express your admiration and appreciation for her in such a genuine way.

    In terms of improvement suggestions, perhaps you could explore more about how your mother has impacted and shaped your life. Sharing specific memories or anecdotes that highlight her influence on you would add even more depth to this touching tribute. Additionally, incorporating more unique and creative language could make the poem even more interesting to read. Overall, though, this is a fantastic piece of writing that honors the special bond between a mother and child.
