Mama (poem)

This was the first poem on my Web site, written in September 1994, just after I began taking care I’m my mother. Just a little background, I grew up on a farm, my parents farmed, but as they got older, the farming gradually decreased and eventually ended. In my mother’s memories it should still have been active and thriving, thus some of her distress as her Alzheimer’s worsened.
