It's Mother's Day

~*~ And I am coming to see you, Mom It will take me half the day, by bus But, I got up early, washed my hair with lemons Like you used to do for me I am wearing a real pretty dress And holding a bouquet of pink flowers Remember, when I brought you wilted dandelions Yet, you loved them still Can we just talk about things About our journey, heartbreaks and many joys I think of you every single day, Mom You are my mother and my friend I have a long bus ride home before dark And it is starting to rain and get cold It is never easy to turn and walk away But, all I can do is leave a tear Now, rest in peace, dear Mom I'll be back next year a la memoire de Jacqueline La France ______________________ May 12, 2013 Poetry/Verse/It's Mother's Day Copyright Protected, ID 05-477-423-12 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France Written for the contest, Mother, Precious Poems sponsor, A Poet Destroyer, Judged 05/66/2013 Fourth Place

I felt the deep emotions in this beautiful poem.....my own mother died very young, and I do feel this same emotion every mother's day....so deep within my heart.

I figured where this poem was going, I knew your Mom had passed away and this just left an impression that you were talking about now and not years ago. You have written a spectacular poem my friend! I really enjoyed reading this wonderfully delightful piece this evening! Great Work!!
