David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

The Woman Disguised As My Mother

The Woman Disguised as my Mother
David J Walker

Mother 
never 
let us in
 on 

The secrets of the
Bygone time

When she might have 
	Smiled
(As if a child)

Thinking about 
Someone

	We would
Never know

And never knew why
She never told us so

I remember the day at the lake 
Laying on the beach towel 
exposed to
A hot summer sun  
We could splash and play and run
And would someday come back again 
	but never did

Mother 
	Never 
Tucked us in
Or

Mentioned dreams 
Or dreaming of 
	Better things
In the night
