Elaine George Poet Elegy

MOM

A empty page awaits the perfect words I hope will convey what I feel when looking back at the lifetime we shared.  

But I am at a loss for words, for none hold the weight that my heart holds today, now out of sync with the world I once knew, missing beat after beat without you.
