My name is Stephanie Goldick. I am originally from the Dayton area, but I moved to Worthington about four and a half years ago. I graduated from Thomas Worthington High School. I played
softball for years, and when I went to high school I continued to play for my
first three years. I don’t have any family in the Columbus area anymore so I
have my own apartment with my best friend in Delaware. Next year I am living on
main campus with four of my friends from high school. I am a freshman this year
and majoring in Biology with the hopes of moving on to Dental school. I work at
a salon and spa in Worthington as a receptionist.
While writing my poem, I realized that it was a very easy subject to write about. I chose to write my tribute to my mom who passed away about six years ago. It didn't take me long to write the poem at all. It came to me pretty easily. The poem didn't turn out perfect, but I did enjoy writing it.
A Tribute to Mom
You
were always the life of any gathering
Laughing,
smiling, telling stories, listening to stories
Once
embarrassing but now missing
your favorite catch phrase “rock on”.
Your
words of wisdom still with me;
“you
better not start it, but you sure as hell better finish it”
Or
“fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”
The
way your hair overtook your body
Like
a lion’s mane.
Remembering
your graceful composure
Sitting
at the dinner table.
My
mom;
Compassionate.
My
mom;
Full
of life.
Great poem. I'm sorry you lost your mother so young. It's odd how we grow to miss the "embarrassing" moments with lost love ones. I've experienced the same thing with my step-father who recently passed.
ReplyDeleteSad that you lost your mother. Poem was awesome though. I loved the rock on quote, very cute. The poem was written nicely.
ReplyDeleteYour mom reminds me of my own mom. She seemed funny and encouraging. The poem was also written well. For a sad event, the poem seems happy.
