My mother wrote this verse when she was very down, not knowing wether to stay or leave her dear old house they lived in for so many years

A table set for only one
is true loneliness at night
Putting a walkman on my head
makes me feel a bit alright

Only when they play "I need you"
and "don't go away"
Oh Synco dear, what am I to say

In all my dreams
I may come to you
feeling your heart against mine
I'm sinking down into despair
I'll keep my sorrow not in sight
because nobody will really care

Laugh Paljasso yes do laugh
one time there will be a day
that I'll come to you in promised land
but not......... through my own hand

Muys, 1994

A brave woman...and to wear a Walkman...she is still quite young at heart...and her time will come, soon enough, but I hope she sticks around now that she has found Passions through you, and start writing again...I think we could all learn something from her!

Thanks for your sweet replies, but silly me forgot all about the rules of posting someone elses poetry (even if it's my mothers

), so I think this tread should be closed.

Who knows, some day she will post herself here, for now she's not ready for it yet.
