FROM THE POET

This is a series of poems written by John Svododa over a number of years. There are times of peak-where numerous poems were written & there are also times of lows where there are long periods between each poem. As the author is trying to reach a goal of 1001 (and then retire!!) it was never envisaged that this would be done over a short period of time. Poems can be humorous, ridiculing someone or something, show a meaning of hurt or love or even project feelings that not necessarily be directed to the same person/thing, can be a reflection of life or to be life. Most poems are trying to send a message to the reader be it not understandable or nonsense.

The idea of this poet is not to have any ill feelings against anyone but to be read by young whom can learn about life – and by the elderly look back at what could have been. Some are very personal- but who cares when you are currently living in a life that has total enjoyment. Suggestion is not to criticize but to take in the enjoyment of creative poetry make it meaningful and thus may be you can be an author.

Poem Number 136 - Mother-Son Love - 22/7/1986

To a more than special person I will always care for,
May you remember me in comfortable surroundings.
Whether it be at home or abroad,
With angels and crystal stars floating all around.

May the rest of your life, be in the affirmative,
With white Christmases and colored gifts: piled up.
To open each one with rewarding kisses and love
To be sitting high above the gates of heaven.

You need not even discuss with me,
Your finalized will and “good will”,
Because, to make me happy as a son,
Is for me, to be reassured that you enter God’s kingdom.

As many and numerous times I’ve acted badly to you,
It’s just because I’m living in a different life style,
But I know as a fact that I will never work,
As hard as you have, in your younger years back home.

You and I will verbal fight for different things we believe in,
But there is one thing no one can take away from us.
This will keep us together, beyond death to us part,
And this is the great strength and length of “Mother-Son”.
