Constance La France Poet Verse

Safe In My Heart Forever

I am really missing you today Mommy, I am melancholy,
     So I took the bus for that long, long journey;
It took me most of the day to get to the cemetery,
               All the headstones were buried in the white.

                          But I knew the path to you.

I trudged in the knee deep snow to that place of tears,
     The wind blowing wispy filigree snow in my face;
And I fell to my knees in front of your tomb, your grave,
                  I placed a blood red rose in the white snow.

                           And I wept for what I have lost.

Long I stayed there with my tears frozen on my cheek,
     And my raven hair lost in the north winds;
Then I got up and I knew that my quest had no purpose,
                   For you are not in this cold place of tombs.

                             You are safe in my heart forever.



                                              " And I will treasure your arms last embrace,
                                                             until this heart stops beating . . . .  "

Bj Legros Kelley January 23, 2023 at 7:35 PM Constance, I am on a journey from your blog through your poetry you listed. You sound like you look like my beautiful daughter, with long raven hair. She tells me if anything ever happens to me she will lose it. I know your mama adores you from heaven's shore and embraces you even now in your heart of memories through the beautiful love you shared. Constance La France January 24, 2023 at 12:28 PM BJ, thank you so much for the visit, comment, compliment and compassion. This poem was so hard to write. It is a dagger in my heart that still bleeds. I will be going back to the cemetery soon and I will again walk through to deep snow to find mommy, love, Constance
