See Me Again

See Me Again "Ghost Town Treasure" Was my fav'rite book You'd read it to me At the end I'd plead You'd read it again. The beach! Such pleasure! A picnic you took To eat by the sea At the end I'd plead You'd take me again. My birthday that year Two snowball cupcakes-- Best birthday I've had 'Oh, Thank you!', I'd plead And you would just grin. Pillow-case---a ghost On Halloween days Paper bag full...sad At the end I'd plead You'd take me again. And ever watchfull Over years I'd find Your face...mine...one look At the end I'd plead 'Mom! See Me again!' Times' hands did Not pull My face to your mind Or reading my book... At the end I'd plead And you'd just grin. ©deborah burch 4/01/2012 *This poem is dedicated to all the children and spouses of Mothers (and wives) with ALZ...and to the awareness of its heartbreaking torment.
