Passion Realized: Poems for All Occasions

By Idella Mullins

Poems are from the heart. God gave thought and the process became print. After the lost of mother in 2006, hence the inspiration for this book. The first poem, Precious Memories help to deal with the lost of mother. Other poems are random encouragement for all. Some are old and some are new but all are for enjoyment. Some rhyme and others are fact-finding types. You will find Poetry/General, Religious/Holidays/Christmas/Inspirational, and Nature/General. Hope and love in the world today, a must for our society. For example, the poem Grass-hoppers alert you, realizing we are but grass-hoppers, struggling to survive because of the economy we face. Yet, other poems show generosity of our neighbors, and give praise to a higher power for his grace and love.

Growing up in the South, early on, enjoyed English and Literature. While in Middle school, one of my teachers taught enjoyment in reading literature, from that experience, poetry was it. She read with such feeling, giving knowledge of how the author felt. After High school, attended business school and worked in the world of business accepting and mastering different types of jobs. Attended college part-time in hopes of getting a degree in Accounting. Started writing poetry while overseas in the mid 80's. In 1988 and 1989, entered poetry contests with World of Poetry, winning Golden poet award, but the children were growing up and needed attention, writing had to wait. Finally finished my schooling and graduated with a degree in Accounting. Throughout the working and parenting years, writing remained in the background. After retirement, turned on the computer, with God's help began to write poems. Now, ready to publish for the first time.

Precious Memories

I remember Mother

In special ways

The way she smiled

The way she laughed

The way she talked

The way she walked

The way she cared for others

The way she shared

The way she cooked

The way she baked

The way she sat on the porch

In her favorite rocking chair

Watching the people

Traveling to and fro

Whether walking or riding

Always, a smile and hello

While growing up

Mother showed her love

Caring for us daily

Giving an example of good

Making patterns and sewing clothes

For her daughters attire

Taylor made to fit

Happy to make adjustments

Cleanliness a must

Seven days a week

Family dish washing daily

Keeping our home clean

Working for the school cafeteria

Making breakfast and lunch

Feeding all who came

For twenty-cent a plate

A good listener

When you needed an ear

Telling what is necessary

To weather the storm

Thinking of Precious memories

Missing her all the more

Waiting for guidance

Understanding how great

Precious Memories, how vivid!

Mother’s day come and go

Memories are abundant

Realizing how special

Precious memories, how they loiter!

Concurs all strength

Treats with vigor

Acceptance vital

Walk with pride

Seek fulfillment

Implant self-esteem

Gives satisfaction

Mother’s love will last no matter what

Mother’s Time

Have you wondered about a mother?

Energy to work all day

Energy to come home and cook

Energy to give baths

Energy to read books

Energy to stay up late

Energy to lay out clothes

Energy to make breakfast

Energy to start the process again

Energy to continue day after day

Energy to attend soccer games

Energy to be a soccer mom

Energy to go back to school

Energy to juggle homework

Energy to help with homework

Energy to handle problems

Energy to keep the
