Hoffman. www.stanleymhoffman.com All rights reserved. The poem above is sometimes called “I Am” due to its repetition of The phrase. Was The poem inspired? The Hebrew name for God, YHWH, means “I am” or “I am that I am.” And There does seem to be something magical about The poem, as it was written by a woman who, to our knowledge, had never written a poem before. Mary Elizabeth Frye was an orphan with no formal education. In 1932 she and her husband hosted a young Jewish woman, Margaret Schwarzkopf, who was fleeing The Holocaust. When she received news that her moTher had died in Germany, The heartbroken houseguest told Frye in despair that she had never had The chance to “stand by my moTher’s grave and shed a tear.” Frye found herself composing The poem above on a ripped-off section of a brown paper shopping bag. She said The words “just came to her.”  less

I wrote “Pour Toi, Mère” (For You, MoTher) which premiered at my senior composition recital. A few years later, Kevin Fenton programmed that piece for his choir at FSU. He shared with me his strong connection with The piece at a time when his sister-in-law, Peggy Fenton was also fighting breast cancer. Sadly, Peggy Fenton lost her fight with cancer in 2009. That same year Kevin contacted me and asked if I would write a piece in her memory for her husband and her two daughters. He shared with me a video of a presentation she did at The MoTher’s Day banquet at her church, just a few days before her passing. The title of her presentation was “From Hats to Crown”. She shared stories about her life and The many relationship roles one plays: as a daughter, a sister, as a wife, a moTher and a teacher. As she talked about each role she wore a different hat. She ended with a crown, shar...    less
