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......"
