Notes About The Poem

For My Mother, Jacqueline

 
"mommy,  I have things to tell you small things 
and big things, things only you will understand."

                                           Quote by _Constance

just the other day I came across a picture
 of you with your horse
and I was amazed to see how much we look alike
could it be true that you are just words
upon cold stone
oh, my quiet, beautiful and kind Jacqueline  
it is unbelievable you left this world
just after Mother's Day
now, entangled, meshed, intertwined
are our souls for eternity
the meaning of love and so much more
is what you left with me
and I am so proud to be the daughter
of one such as you 
mommy, not a day goes by
that you are not in my heart
especially on each Mother's Day 

oh, how my heart is shattered
and my thoughts are scattered
with sadness for your sad death
and the day of your last breath
I recall that sweet May day
with the songs of birds so gay
after-   I strolled in the blue
where a bird came (I think was you)
I promised to plant you a garden bright
with flowers swaying and birds in flight
each May-   I will do this to honor you
I will plant a garden calm and tranquil
oh, how my heart is shattered
and my thoughts are scattered
