Best Poems Written by Donna Alford

Mother and Daughter

My mother and I were never weak.
But we also were not unique.

She was a woman, and I was a child.
We always made people smile.

They look so much alike, people would say.
How I wished it was not her time to go away.

I enjoyed all types of music.
She enjoyed old country tonic.

I never let her disabilities get her down.
She always encouraged me not to back down.
