Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

There Is No Home Now

A lion of a headache I have.
It hurts to think for this is Thursday
The morning I always call my mother

Her voice lifts me
Her attitude is delightful
She is carefree and fun
People all agree she is hilarious

The headache is an awakening
A reminder that I can never return home
There is no home now
For Mother is gone

She departed eight days ago
To go to her heavenly reward.
I have no doubt about that.
She was the most spiritual woman I ever met.

I am homesick for my mother now
Knowing she has traveled beyond the realm
Thursdays are bitter now

This is my second one without her
My headache reminds me.
This is the morning I used to call my mother.

Sandra Adams February 7, 2020 at 9:27 PM sorry for your loss...it's never easy losing a parent, especially a mother...when my mom first passed, i had been her caretaker so i picked up the phone to call her often and then realized...it fades a little with time... the love never does, just the urge to call i guess because we adjust and get used to not being able to... hugs to you Caren Krutsinger February 8, 2020 at 8:30 AM It is truly an enormous loss.
