Cognizance

when i close my eyes sometimes i see you standing next to me youthful memories of a mother's love within the folds of eyes closed tight i reach for you your skin grows cold memories lingering i grow old tears fall i curse death

It is so sad how fast things change with a death; it re-routes lives. I hope she did not go when you were too young, but losing a mother must be horrible. I still have mine. Nice one.

she was 55 when she passed, i was 32, my oldest son remembers her well, my daughter somewhat, my youngest was under 3 so he only has vague memories~ now that i have outlived her i realize how young she really was! You are blessed to still have yours, enjoy and thanks for the read and comment hugs
