Moments With Mammy

Moments With Mammy
by Paul McCsnn 

In her arms she cradled me

when I was her wee baby.

She kept me warm in the cold ,

she gave me  a  smile to hold

when she took me by the  hand

through the streets in Ireland

to the shops and mountain tops

and to the city bus stops

where we would wait to go home.

In her company I owned the world

and all it’s treasure ,
How can I ever measure ,

the times we had together .
She is with me forever
in my heart and in my mind  ,

 I know I will always find  ,

my mother still waiting there

in a moment that we share .
