No Cuddles No Snuggles

Was here Was there Was nowhere... She vanished overnight My darling Mom Where had she gone Watching at window From dusk till dawn Each day the door would open With food and drink galore But all I wanted Through that door Was Mom Now gone forevermore No cuddles No snuggles Just a blanket On the floor Oh how I longed To hear her voice To feel her touch I would rejoice Then one fine day I heard a sound Footsteps struggling On the ground Was that her voice Time to rejoice 'twas Panagiota I ne'er forgot her Her footsteps slower Would always know her Her smile so sweet With my favorite treat Mom's home at last Life's now complete... dedicated to Queen Irene and her Mom Panagiota ~ together at last Written 1st February 2022 Contest A STRAND (1063) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

Ann, dear friend... big Congratulations. A wonderful win. Queen Irene and I are honored beyond words. Nice being home after three months. Vagabond Panagiota. One month in hospital 2 months at daughters? That was enough. Most humbled and grateful.
