Looking For Her

all her things she saved for us are flung out and flying all about............. every counter is full and ever shelf is crammed. each has a story to tell i have found a diary for a day, pages telling how she lived each day she writes how much she loves my sister and i she cries out how she misses and loves my father she writes of her love of her grandchildren that is what her tomorrows are all about i see what made her so sad she writes from her heart and my mind breaks my tears of gratitude flow i am so thankful she left me her things to care for...... i can let her go now... ......and say ...."mama go rest" by joloujanetta "never did i know what a comfort a pillow where she lay her head would be for me......"
