Words for MOM

Part 5:

You thought you knew me,

But I did know you.

You thought you were watching me,

But I did hold you securely in my sight,

Recording every moment,

memorizing your smile, tracing your frowns,

In your absence

I rehearsed you,

The way you had of singing

On a breeze,

While a sob lay

At the root of your song.

Part 6:

The way you posed your head

So that the light could caress your face

When you put your fingers on my hand

And your hand on my arm,

I was struck with a sense of health,

Of strength and very good fortune.

xoxo,
