PREMIER: A POEM BY VENANCE GILBERT FOR CELEBRATING THE WORLD MOTHERS' DAY 2018

Venance Gilbert: A composer of this poem. Today is a very special day to all Mothers in the World. It is called World Mothers' Day . As one among the people who were raised by a mother, I found an interest in holding a pen and a piece of paper at least to write the few from the collection of what I did as I was growing up and my mother was there for me to make sure that I grow up wisely and intelligently. On March 28, 2017 I completed the long lasting composition of this poem. IT IS VERY SPECIAL FOR MY DEAR MAMA FLORENTINA AND ALL MOTHERS' IN THE WORLD. May be your mother has passed away (sorry for the loss) but due to spiritual faith, we believe that the resting mothers in heaven can hear our voices, so you can also recite the poem for your mom and she will hear you in one way or another. The poem is called Premier. I welcome you once again to this field of language use. I have hired a very simple language in composing this poem, it is very understood and straightforw...
