Dear Mum

Dear mum I’m sorry faith didn’t give us Much time together For I long Every time I sit at a table For your delicacious Meals For every time I see A mother and child I can’t help but wish It were us Every time I receive a hug I wish it was from you Every time I pick up A picture of you I wish you would talk to me Every time I pick up Your clothing I wish I could see you in them When I close my eyes I see your face Smiling at me When I look in the mirror I see you staring back at me When I listen To the song of the wind I hear a string of your voice Lingering Of course I love these things all And treasure them But I’ll also like to Have the others I’m selfish And will love to have Them all Everything you is Always welcome I’ll never run out of space For you.
