Mothers Day my way

Life’s full of calls 
some good, 
some bad 
even expedient 
I’ve made them all 
I’m not here for the long haul 

Get through today 
to gain tomorrow 
If I get past tonight, 
There is no given
when it comes to living 
One moment strong
the next vulnerable 
then it’s gone 

I don’t pray 
not properly anyway 
if there is such a way, 
Who gets to say!

What is balance 
a coffee and a biscuit 
sometimes yes
contentment 
til I need a pee
hopefully don’t miss 
Good call, 
ah…! the bliss

Hurt’s never far away 
love is nearer 
Comes much dearer 
what a price to pay 
Let’s not go there, 
not now 
can I be any clearer 
Bad calls I’ll try avoid 
at least today 

I’m a liar
I’ve already made one 
not too late to redeem 

Its Mother’s Day 
Should I visit her grave 
or go tomorrow
Mum was always forgiving 
so It’ll be ok
I’ll wait til I’m not busy 
just like today
 
Another call is needed, 
would it not be better to go 
when I am busy 
more respectful 
find the time as she did
on so many occasions,

No! an expedient call is needed 
I’ll go now 
and finish this off later 

I’m back, 
Poem’s done
I love you mum!
