MOTM - Memories Of The Mother

This is my tribute to my mother, Georgie, who passed away February 11, 1998.
She instilled in me a love and knowledge of the coast and low country areas
that will survive the test of time through the education of her grandchildren.
Follow the bouncin' ball to the tune of "Feverish Island"

I'm gazing at the beautiful Atlantic.
Her waves are crashing gently on the shore.
The full moon forms a gateway 'cross the ocean.
With Georgie keepin' watch from heaven above.

This little patch of eden was her refuge
From all the boring day to day routines.
Her front porch rocker sits alone and empty,
Swayin' to the breezes as they blow.

Fragrance of salt air is ticklin' my senses
In a way that I know she loved.
Memories 'pon memories 'pon beach laden memories
Will help keep her legacy afloat.

I'm gazing at the beautiful Atlantic....

May 6, 1998
