Constance La France Poet Verse

It's Mother's Day

 
~*~

And I am coming to see you, Mom
It will take me half the day, by bus
But, I got up early, washed my hair with lemons
Like you used to do for me

I am wearing a real pretty dress
And holding a bouquet of pink flowers
Remember, when I brought you wilted dandelions
Yet, you loved them still

Can we just talk about things
About our journey, heartbreaks and many joys
I think of you every single day, Mom
You are my mother and my friend

I have a long bus ride home before dark
And it is starting to rain and get cold
It is never easy to turn and walk away
But, all I can do is leave a tear

Now, rest in peace, dear Mom
I'll be back next year


a la memoire de Jacqueline La France

Russell Sivey May 12, 2013 at 6:51 PM I figured where this poem was going, I knew your Mom had passed away and this just left an impression that you were talking about now and not years ago. You have written a spectacular poem my friend! I really enjoyed reading this wonderfully delightful piece this evening! Great Work!!
