Listening to every heart

The note [Marsha/Krissy’s challenge]

I have
a last note,
from my
mom

on a card

which I have written of
in pages blue

which I
have kept close,
though
shared with
you

it resides in
a special place
from a special heart
this card of
mom's,
a daily part

of life,
of love,
a heaven's note
from high
above

I take it down
every now and then
tracing lines
that traced a heart

how hard it was,
sometimes,
for her to get past the depth
of her love
to share her words

because I love you’s
are said so often
sometimes we don’t know
their deepest impact…

so they go unsaid

when we need them most…

this last card,
it spoke her heart

if I were to place it in your hands,
you would feel the palpable
beat of motherhood
still thumping

in her note
