Loretta Pitilli Poet Narrative

Can You Hear Me Up There Today?

can you hear me
up there today
away in eternity
i hope you are proud of me
so many years between us now
i can't remember 
the sound of your voice
or whatever you said
without your photoraph
your image is misty
suddenly our time together 
disappeared unannounced
it came to an end

sometimes i think about
why it had to
turn out this way
you up there
me down here
your departed soul
left my childhood shattered
i kept looking for you everywhere
some people i met
reminded me of you
their unspoken manner 
made me feel safe
oh how i missed you

other times i wondered
what life would be like
id you were here by my side
without the nearness of you
i stumbled and fell
searching for the missing pieces
to recitify my mistakes
i yearned for a chance
to do what mothers and daughters do
as my children grew
i counted the moments lost
precious time of love
that only grandmothers could fill

now on in years
wrapped in the arms  of wisdom
i remiknese upon my life
discerning all the numerous  tears
with a peaceful contenance
i can finally comprehend
that within all my darkest hours
the echo of your love from above
came in loud and clear
your voice was  my intuition
"do not stray my dear i am here"
can you hear me up there  today
i hope you are proud of me
