For My Mother
For a Mother.
she left me
with only the thoughts of her embrace to warm me
in frigid mornings of tomorrows yet to come
she left me
with her words of tender truths to shroud me
in the coming evenings of stabbing sleet and hail
she left me
yet she stays forever within me
in my waking dreams
and in my restful thoughts
she stays forever within me
she remains an abiding part
of the love
the pain
the tears
and never shall we be
truly apart
