Don't Cry

Mommy, Mommy--
please don’t cry.
Here I am,
by your side.

You can’t feel me,
you can’t see,
but in your heart,
I will always be.

Now dry your eyes
and rest awhile,
holding me
in your mind,

remembering me
with a smile.

ps... You are right about the syllables. I will check the count tonight. I'll be back... Thank you. I like it when a poet takes his or her time, on my poems.

Hi Alesia, I'm deeply moved by this poem. I lost both my mothers, so never will I ask them not to cry, I am the one who cries now.... Anyways, Love the poem.... LINDA
