Laura Mckenzie Poet Bio

A Mother's Day Wish

My dear Mother
I think of you more often than any other
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face
My mind goes blank when I try hard to trace
I try to remember your warm hands and caring demeanor 
It’s been so long since I’ve heard your voice the air grows leaner 
Now I am left here with memories that I keep by choice
Locked in a book where I turn the page to peak and rejoice 
Dear Mother you taught me so much with your cooking technique
And I miss listening to you and Dad when you would sit and speak 
I wish your were here to met my daughter that I love so much
And watch her grow and give her hugs love and such
You know you never think you’ll lose her one-day
But then she’s gone when you have so much to say
I see her come walking into my dreams
Then she ventures off and I’m left in tears and screams  
I wake up to wonder was it real or just unclear
Or just another moment together in a dream atmosphere
Dear Mother I wanted take this day to say 
Although your not here anymore Happy Mothers day!

Carolyn Devonshire April 28, 2009 at 3:17 PM Laura, my Mom's gone too, but I like to think she is still looking over me. Your sentiments about trying to recall her face struck a chord. Like you, I go back to pictures. Mother's Day can be a difficult time, but surely she still knows you are thinking about her. Love, Carolyn

Carrie Richards April 28, 2009 at 3:03 PM So sweet Laura...I love the sentiment, and it makes me miss my own mother so much....wishing she could have known my children. I have often thought how different, how wonderful it would be if we could have had more time together. lovely poem. ~ Carrie
