Poem:
A poem written by Victoria Nicole Cameron for her mother after visiting her mother's grave at the cemetery in Oklahoma.
A Visit To Mama
Mama tell me why,
There's a rainbow in the sky.
Are there angels with you above the clouds?
You loved us all, made us proud.
Please tell me that I might hear,
Your voice I have lost to my ear.
Mama ... Tell me why,
I can't see you in my minds eye.
I have looked in every place,
Longing to see your loving face.
I wasn't there to say kind words,
My prayers mama, I know you heard.
I know somehow you understood,
I have come as I said I would.
Oh, mama … tell me please,
You loved me, put my heart at ease.
With trembling heart I come to my knees,
Salty tears whipped by the Oklahoma breeze.
A little plaque lay in the ground,
Tears of dew sparkling all around.
"IN MEMORY OF" the words they say,
Marks her little spot in this vast prairie clay.
I trace her name with my fingertips,
Unspoken words of love escape my lips.
A songbird perched on yonder stone,
Keeps my mama from being alone.
A visit I shall never forget,
Mama graces my heart, there she lives yet.
