my mother was a person 
who could converse with her cow 
and the little rose in her garden 
with mankind she had no clue 
she lost to them due to her bluntness 
  
my mother was a person 
whom you could trust..any of you 
you could hold her hand and walk past 
any mist- there would'nt be a dug trap 
waiting for you..trust worthy person 
  
my mother was a person 
who was'nt a learned one 
she knew what i liked to eat more than 
she knew what i liked to read..she was 
a person to whom the stomach was more than the head 
  
for a person like my mom 
a poem would'nt be a fitting tribute 
if i feed a few to their hearts content 
it would be a fitting tribute...for 
my mother was a person..to whom 
the stomach was more than the head
