I sat down at my computer today and as I often do I thought of my mother. Wendy died when I was six years old after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I treasure my memories of her and this old house that I depict. The soft carpet the color of a rose The piano whispering a song Hide and go seek is the game I chose Your nights out were so long Hugs and kisses when you got home Blankets tucked up tight at night Like the sun your lullaby shone Rose my dreams up out of sight Morning birds out on the maple tree Breakfast scenting up my room Watching cartoons on the tv Happy am I - I would assume Then there came that awful day Your life was ticking like a clock Doctor said you'd go away Leave your family - leave your flock I watched you in that cold cold room The darkness hid your pain You fought out til the end I know Cause your smile - it remained The sad thing is it didn't hit me That you'd leave me here so young The worst thing it is shot me The agony piercing like a gun Mom get out of that box Come read me a story please Help me find my missing sock Cause these tears to cease Oh no,don't lower mom Into that musty ground All I want is a lullaby song Not this fearful frown Daddy, he can't take much more He cries every night - I can hear The tears are washed a shore He'll choke on those tears, I fear The world goes on and everyday I think of my wonderful mom The impression left won't go away The feelings are too strong I love you mom with all my heart Wish you could hear that now One day we won't be apart I pray for that somehow |

You honor her love with your memories and words. very nice.

I'm sitting here in tears. This is a powerfully touching poem. I couldn't begin to imagine the pain of loosing a parent. This poem puts forth clarity of such a situation. |

Kari it makes me sad to sit here and read about how you lost your beloved mom when you were only six years old. It is amazing that you have lived with all this pain and yet you also have all those precious memories of your mom and your love is sustaining you and gives you compassion and hope. This is truly a wonderful poem of love and caring you have written about your mother. James |

Kari, How gutwrenching. (HUGS) so sad for you to have to deal with that cruel twist of fate. I could feel that six year old's grief. Sad subject but well done for depicting the young Kari's pain. Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |
