MY mothers shape
kinda round, bunched
not straight, hunched
kinda soft,like marshmallow,
wobbles, smells sweet, like jello.

Head held high, shuffling gate
swollen an ankles, arthritic joints
bad bowels, no complaint.
Naive, astute private and proud,
softly spoken, never loud.

Held in a flash of memory
an image, a tender thought
that brings a single tear.
So missing my mothers shape
A silent wish that she were here.
                    Love you Mum.xx
