Certainly not easy
Grief for a mother will have its days-
sometimes long after the rituals are over and
condolence cards have stopped coming in the mail.
Whenever I am convinced that grief is “done”
Bang! It’s back! As if there is an
invisible bungee cord that pulls me back to my grief.
There is—memory.
It’s Mother’s Day in heaven, and I miss my mother. I wonder if she knows?
How do we face a day set aside for mothers when the woman who brought us into this world has been taken from this world? If you ask those who have already been down this road, they will tell you that it is a very lonely time. For each of you that will be glowing with smiles, shopping for your mother, and taking her out to your favorite restaurant, there will be those of us whose heart is aching as we remember the last moments spent with our mothers.
Mother's Day certainly isn't easy. It stirs up the "emptiness" we feel inside. We can't change death, but we can certainly cherish the memories.
Innocence
Innocence I saw.
Saw in you.
You are most beautiful.
Your beauty being innocent.
Innocent for the simple things.
Things you do to look pretty.
Pretty than you already are.
Pretty for being you.
You are the prettiest.
Prettiest for me.
All your innocence fills my heart and melts for you.
Innocence never seen before.Never by me.
Such is innocence.
Innocence of your beauty.
Identity of a person
Identity signifies complexity
Identity identifies with reality
Identity is the bearer of all vanity
How does a person identify with identity?
You define yourself based on what?
They say, they say
You’re kind or moral based on what?
Or
You’re a genius and shrewd based on what?
Or
You make the perfect lover, look for no other
They say, they say
They say, they say
You’re strong without a thought it may not last long
Or
You’ve skills since with a record you run up high bills
Or
You are shy but no one ever talks to you or says hi
Or
You never give up because right now you are on top
They say, they say
They say, they say
You are generous or gregarious when all you are is conscious
Or
You’re innovative yet not the originator of the idea conceived
What are the facts?
What are the facts?
That makes your identity intact
When change on identity has the last impact?
Memory
You are always with me
But you cannot interact
I can always see you
Always hear your voice
Always sense your smile
And always feel your touch
You always seem to be here
Showing me what’s right
You’re always right next to me
A guide within my life
All you say is all you’ve said
And stays here to this day
The lessons you have taught to me
Stay throughout time
I want to hug you
I want to know
To know you’re here right now
But I can’t
And you’re not
You’re just a memory
You are always with me
But you cannot interact
I can always see you
Always hear your voice
Always sense your smile
And always feel your touch
You always seem to be here
Showing me what’s right
You’re always right next to me
A guide within my life
All you say is all you’ve said
And stays here to this day
The lessons you have taught to me
Stay throughout time
I want to hug you
I want to know
To know you’re here right now
But I can’t
And you’re not
You’re just a memory
