Troy Brown Poems

A mother’s love you may never explain
Like the beauty of the setting sun
It matters not how little she has
Often leaves herself undone
...

I patiently waited for another year,
For father’s day to come
To wish that special person a happy day
Happy father’s day, to my mom
...

M’my, as she was affectionately called by me
Never lent a deafening ear,
But now my cries, my calls, my sighs, my shouts
My God, she cannot hear
...

I was out one day to learn lessons from the sea.
The sea so deep and wide,
It is used to take you from place to place
It appears that nothing lies inside
...

Speak to me softly my peaceful sea
How your waves grow loud and loud
I can hardly understand the message you give
May your head not slowly bow
...

My taste for love is what I long,
The secret so full and free
My heart of love beats every day
Because of this Oak Tree
...

Remember our journey to town
In the coolness of the day
Mommy had no other employment
Than mangoes on a tray
...

My mother grew up in an old country town
Working hard in every little way
The time we spent and the joys she shared
Are the most vivid memories today
...

“Protect my little ones”, falling down on my knees
“Dear Jesus, I am begging you please
I present my children again today
For your protection dear Lord, I pray”
...
