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. 

 
August 22nd 1929 – May 23rd, 2025

Tom Woody Date: 6/2/2025 3:06:00 PM Lainey! Wow been so long. And such a sad poem. I lost mine 11/23 and dad 6/24. I've done a few tributes to dad, but haven't been inspired to do a mom poem yet. Wishing you peace Login to Reply Elaine George Date: 6/23/2025 2:30:00 PM How nice to hear from you, Tom. I don't write on PoetrySoup as often these days. Too much going on in my life. My Mom would have turned 96 in August. Somehow, life goes on without them, but it will never be the same. Tom Woody Date: 6/2/2025 3:06:00 PM PS. My wife lost her mom in February. She was 93
