On Mother's Day

If I could see my mother, I would press her to my heart; wrap my arms around her weeping, and never, ever let her go. But that is silly to dream about, because I will take a rose to her grave; like I did last year . . . and turn away broken again. ___________________________ May 5, 2020 Poetry/Verse/On Mother's Day Copyright Protected, ID 20-1248-730-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France BRIAN'S CHOICE 9 sponsor, Brian Strand Honorable Mention
