Ann Gilmour Poet Free verse

Enormous Bear Hugs

That extra special card from you
expresses love between us two

Love only a mother knew
    So precious 
        So strong
             So poignant
                                    now you've gone

No longer can I feel your hugs
    enormous bear hugs
        embraced me
  
                                    hugs only you could do

My darling son 
I miss you so
On this Mother's day morn

                                   on every single morn

Now you have gone
   My eyes flow with tears
   My heart so full of sorrow

How can I go on

                                  for without you there is no tomorrow...
