Momma it's raining

the drops drizzle
down my cheeks
drawing me into your embrace
the softness a welcome middle
between the days of aridity
and the torrential downpour
that sometimes pass my way

momma I miss you
thank you for the rain

Love that word "aridity." What a very revealing, very short poem. Momma is still with you.

My father was very fond of the rain.  Now, I can't help but think of him when it actually does rain here... and I have to smile.  A lovely tribute to your mother.

What a beautiful, poignant write! You express both the missing... and the gratitude for memories... and leave both an ache and a smile. *S*

Miss you, sweet lady!!! HUGS!
