O Mama

O Mama, do you have company up there? Your mommy, your sweet daddy, do you ever see them? The sun no longer has the same courtesy here, He no longer says hello, no, or even thank you. I have mom, a tiny little regret every day, You read so much; you drank so much coffee, To escape sticky clocks, busy nurses, You marveled at your fourteen grandchildren, You worried about everyone, every second, This morning, my little straw secret, it is, For you to see the world in warm colors, Sometimes I should have bought you a hot chocolate, Alone, He would have made you think of other things, Think to Uganda, to learned women, or to flowers. PS : my mamma passed away a 23th of April

Hi Yann, So sorry for your loss. What beautiful tribute to your Mom. I enjoyed your poem about the Sea; for I am lover of the Caribbean Sea... any large body of water with degree of clarity. Thank you for commenting on I Believe. Happy writing.

This is so emotive and descriptive. So sorry for your loss (I take it that this was on a different April 23?)
