To My Mother

Vonita 24 Comments

I see you in my dreams

I hear you in my mind

I feel you in my heart

I remember the very night

You flew from the land

And from my life

I am married now, Ma

I have a beautiful boy

And a daughter who looks like you

You are a grandmother now, Ma

Your legacy to the world

Your purpose lives on

I live your lessons every day

In my heart and in my life

And all I have is one tiny message

From my heart to yours

After all this time and what has been

Your baby girl is okay

Xx

In memory of my mother

Drifting to another world

I wonder what will be

If you will lift me off my feet

Or simply rescue me

There’s nothing more than can be shared

We’ve said it all before

Our pleasures past have come undone

It’s gone – our lust of yore

So now I’m left to question all

The should’s I never do

For when I fall asleep at night

It’s you, it’s only you.

Let them eat cake

Said the ruthless to the rogue

Let them eat crumbs

Said the prince to the king

Let them eat dust

Said the wealthy to the world

Give them flowing water

Fresh and free and cool

Said the Father to His Son.
