I'Ll Be Seeing You

I have a song meaningful to me forever it was not mine to begin with but my mother's I'll Be Seeing You is the name of it she loved that tune so much and I am not sure why really for it is a sad song to me with such longing . . . the nurses at the hospital told me that even when someone is in a coma they perhaps could still hear voices and music so I played my mother that song she loved over and over and sang the words to her until she took her last breath hope she could hear it and me I even arranged for it to be sung at her funeral and there was not a dry eye . . . a year later on the anniversary of her death I was lying on my bed quite forlorn and missing her the radio was on and exactly at 2 pm the time my mother passed that song I'll Be Seeing You was playing on the radio that same old song she loved I took it as a message from my mother and whispered . . . Mom, I will be seeing you in everything that is bright and gay . . . forever ________________________ July 29, 2020 Poetry/Narrative/I'll Be Seeing You Copyright Protected, ID 20-1272-340-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest Same Old Song sponsor, Beth Evans First Place
