EULOGY TO MOTHERHOOD
And radiant child, with smile so sweet,
And life appears to be complete,
Yet coastal storms for miles and miles,
And Death's shadow on the Isles.
Then cruelly taken from the nest,
Crippled and seeking a place.
From proud factories, hear the good news,
Yet filthy smoke each chimney spews.
People huddled in loving homes;
Elected divinities gaze down in domes.
And violent storms grow worse and worse,
And from the threshold comes a curse.
Genuflecting the brothers pray,
While Death enters as Mothers lay,
Yielding to snake, taking the sting,
Sensing the poison it may bring.
Storm clouds descend from ancient days,
And terrified through the haze,
Strong but foolish, she takes the pain;
The scapegoat "whore", the clown again.
The children in her eyes may see,
The betrayal and the agony.
Yet on and on the saga goes,
And promise with new tippy-toes.
But Age knocks on the door again,
The heart pierced with such a pain.
What then love beckons from house to house,
And eyes wide like excited mouse.
Is this a timeless Dream we're seeing,
That radiates from every being.
Then Death takes hold of child-like hands;
Emotions wash upon the sands.
Forgive Almighty at your behest,
And lay thee down with love to rest.

Such a beautiful message ♥️

Thank you. There is a misprint on line 6, which should read "Crippled and seeking a place to rest."

This is what I've written on the card, headed "In Loving Memory of Mum", for Mum's flowers.
"Heartbreaking! And just after our little Christmas holiday together, back in London. I so much wanted a new family and to look after you. Rest in peace dear Mum, and one day we will all be together again. Lots of love from your son Stuart."

Boxing Day in Covent Garden 2023

I think Mum was really pleased of the opportunity to visit me, her son, for the Xmas Holiday, and for us to be together, perhaps shown in this portrait with her little smile. But her health was poor, and although she seemed to have a chest infection she was smoking heavily. It was a lovely holiday, and although I couldn't afford to give her much on Christmas Day, Mum spoiled me with lots of presents.

I think this photo of Mum was taken at an hostel in Nottingham on 2 June 1955, where she lived. On the back there is some text, slightly obscured, which seems to read "To my darling Sister Pam with love from your loveing Sister Jan xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxx" (Stuart John Daff)

I believe this portrait may have been made by Janet's father (note the extra shadow), perhaps on a holiday (date unknown).
