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.

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
