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.
