Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

To Feel His Smile

Every piece of furniture reminds her of him.
She picks up the phone.
To tell him something funny.
To get his reactions.
To hear his voice.

Every glance out the window is a memory.
She picks up the phone
To feel his smile
To hear him laugh at the same time
To explain her feelings
Forgetting each time
There are no phones in heaven.

Ann Gilmour April 16, 2020 at 9:15 AM Oh Caren your heartfelt poetry really resonates with me my friend, my son used to ring me at least once a day and still I reach for the phone hoping it will be him ~ wishing I could hear his voice one more time. With kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2020 at 7:11 PM I keep reaching for the phone to call my mother. She has been gone 10 weeks now. I wonder if it will ever stop.
