The Goodbye

The Good-Bye We walked To the railway station Mother Dressed in an old coat Fastened with safety pins waved. She looked so small wanted to leave the train Embrace her. The train moved I waved As long as I could see her. Mother was untidy Hair On the sandwiches She gave me. At the next stop I bought a bar of chocolate.

Jan, profound imagery here, brought me close to tears. I like your interesting style with its use of punctuation guiding the reading and feelings rather than by grammar. Nice, truly nice story pen here. sally
