and friends while honoring
my dear mother who passed nine years

Arrived
at her resting
place just in time, and I
reflected on the happy times
we had.

hold your memories close,
always seeing your calm presence
with me.

Just One More

I wish
I could speak to
her one more time over
the phone, listening to her wise
statements.

Phone Calls

I miss
the long phone calls,
the frequent pauses, then
continuing to another
topic.

I wish
my mother was
present at this moment,
to comfort me during my hard
struggles.

Colors

One thing
she enjoyed was
colors all around her,
shades of citrus and lilac, always
in view.

Closer

As the days

leading to your

remembrance

draw closer,

I think about

your wisdom,

your devotion,

and how

Your presence is

always missed.
