It Was One of Those Mornings

It was a morning that began like any other,
until I got the call about my dying mother.
I hurried home, drove so fast.
Before I got there, she had passed.

It was a morning that began like any other,
I knew she was free and no longer had to suffer.
I awoke with a smile on my face,
knowing that she was in a better place.

Your poem was delightful so glad that you had a good day after “It Was One Of Those Mornings” that really wasn’t awesome.. Congratulations on your placement..Sara..It is very difficult to deal with the emotion of the death of a parent..It is good that you knew that she had gone on to heaven and was free of pain..

Congratulations on your placement. I really could relate to this as I recently lost my mom. Excellent. A 7 and a fave. :)
