Jerry Brotherton Poet Etheree

Mommie

I
never
thought about
if she missed me
But now she is gone
I miss her every day
Too late I learned the lesson
enjoy each moment as it comes
because the next may be your last one
and once it is gone you cannot get it back

Beryl Edmonds February 16, 2024 at 5:35 PM Jerry, it’s so true to say we should enjoy every moment of each day, one never knows what’s waiting to happen. I miss my mom too.
