Deathiversary
Perplexed and dismayed
In the seeming misery.
This bewildered soul so abashed
Within the bodied figure so jittery.
Daunted her deep-felt presence
He wonders, if lost.
Heart sobs within, in cold sweat sequence
To what does this cost.
Uncertainty seemed a bedrest
One not pleasing to behold.
In what way does this become a test
Yet the mind feels a stronghold.
He mumbled through the dark intermittently

Quick To Forget
For a couple of weeks
the phone calls and cards
expressed sympathies
As suddenly as death itself
they stopped
For the next year or so
things reminded me of her
A favorite song on the radio
Someone would cook a dish she liked
Now I only remember her twice a year
On her birthday I tweet she would’ve been 104
Happy Birthday in Heaven mother
do they

My Cheerleader Left For Good Today
I heard your encouragement so many times,
worded ten million
different ways
that I forgot to listen for it anymore.
Your love never came lightly,
never with levity but rather cast echoes when it left the horizon.
Sometimes it hurt on purpose,
Just so you knew how severely you could affect.
You forgot to listen too.
I

She Blew Me a Kiss Goodbye
She waved me off and then blew me a kiss,
As she slowly closed her door,
I remember thinking this was rather strange
For she had never blown me a kiss before!
It was the heart attack that took her life,
But at least her chest pains would be no more,
It was a neighbour checking up on her
Who had found

Thinking of Mom- Woman In My Life
You flit through my thoughts now and again
I feel you by my side more often than not
Just because your blood runs deep within me
And seriously will not change that for anything
My heart yearns and weeps for loosing you to God
You know, now I have you and God looking out for me
But still I miss you.

Do the Angels Rock the Babies
Do the Angels Rock the Babies?
Do the Angels rock the Babies?
Oh, please tell me it is so.
When they're carried through the Cosmos;
To the place where Spirits go.
Do they sing with Angel sweetness;
A Blessed lullaby?
Do they hold them oh so gently;
And rock them when they cry?
I have often paused to ponder;
Through the long dark passing years.
Does

G - Greetings
Golden ghost
Guided through the gloom and grief
Generate growth in the grieving ghouls still going and become the glue between our groups
The givers last gift
Gapping our grids, ghastly in all your glory
A gallant gamble
To gratify all grudges into a genesis so genuine
Grateful my gaze catches a glimpse of your gilded glow
Grounded and gagged as I grovel

My Mother Death
Tonight I am feeling
a little scared
as I can tell my mama
Climbing those
Heavenly stairs.
Tonight I am feeling
Kind of strange
Because I will never
Again here my mother
call out my name.
Tonight I am feeling
Happy because mom
Will get to go to heaven
and also see daddy again.

In Her Mansion Above........Repost
The day momma died.
I held her to my bosom, and then I cried.
Silenced by death this mother I love.
She’s there in her mansion with our Savior above.
She left just a short five months after I had accepted the Lord.
Father she deserves peace for this life down
