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
