GOODBYE MOMMA

GOODBYE MOMMA

I started to write and then stopped,

For in the fingers  my pen dropped,

Exploring the vast fields of my mind,

Searching for just a memory  to find,

Of the times we never got to share,

And the circumstances we now bear,

As the reality of the times take on,

From us Momma you are now gone,

Away  from the earth not our hearts,

The pain, the sting of loss that hurts,

The feeble wave of weak unwilling hand,

Bidding goodbye Momma from the land.

Nothing  shall be found to completely  clean dry,

The blur of vision stinging the back of mine eye,

Rolling down into the bitter salty solitary tears,

Crushing the soul from heart-life’s worst fears,

Cleaning the comparative mosaic of imagination,

Seeing her crystalline  in her daughter’s recreation,

Reminisce the beautiful legacy she left behind,

Embrace the gift of life’s near replica of her kind,

As the photos and pictures of her can scarcely paint,

The near description of her gentleness only so faint,

Permanently rare and literally eternally irreplaceable,

Goodbye Momma on to the world above unspeakable.

Dedicated to Lillian.

So sad I never got to meet your Mom.

She is not lost, Just gone ahead of us.
