Half Left

I feared you would forget me You often said my name Not always the right person But remembered all the same Though your memory faltered Your spirit shined within You loved to laugh and joke And your smile became a grin You had your little sayings Maybe this one was your best I ask, are you alright Mum? And you say no, I'm half left

Lesley, Very well written poem. -Richard “It's nice sometimes to open up the heart a little and let some hurt come in. It proves you're still alive.” - Rod McKuen
