Listening to every heart

Hello Mom

Maybe because you’re ten years past

those many days between,
bereft of hugs,
even if before, distance spanned us

its useless now to explain haunting aches
from seeing a phone
go un-dialed

I would finger my way across
memories

just to hear your “hello, dear”

hello Mom
Happy Mother’s Day

by thought now flown

kiss the ache away by voice alone
please don’t see the tears that form

or this scratch at back of throat

because you’re ten years past all that.

Sunshine, so lovely. It doesn't matter how long it has been, or how much more than children we are.....we miss our Moms. Chris

The ache never goes away, nor the tears.  I lost my dear mother twelve years ago.  God bless you, Karilea.

KJ...I know this feeling too well.  What a
feeling it would be to just be able to
pick up the phone and say "Happy Mother's
Day"  just once more....So that she would
know how very much I meant those words..

Thank You for this one...

(sigh) This is so sad but beautiful, sweet friend, I can feel your heart breaking here and my thoughts are with you and I hope deep down you know that your mom will always love you so much and will never forget you as she guides you with her light from up above and someday when the time is right you will reunite with her! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
