My Mother She Would Love This Poem
today i went to
the Sonic
but not for
ice cream
i drove up and talked
with the drive thru
and they were so
very nice
they gave me what
i wanted and
i did give a
complicated
order
then i parked
and read the paper
and watched the
other people in
their cars
interacting with
each other
that is when it came.....
the missing came to me
so strong i physically
felt the blow to my
stomach
i wanted to go to tell
you what i saw
that was really
funny
but....alas you are
dead and gone
i remember you used
to say in a humorous
voice....when we would
talk about someone
that went on with life
after a loved one died
and you said....oh but
it is o.k.. their husband
or wife pass
because the deceased
are as dead as they
ever going to be
then i clearly see
you tilt your head and
look that look
with your
cornflower blue eyes
they needed to move on
well, mama, you know
that i know that you are
but i don't believe you
will be
dead as you are you
are going to be
leastways in my heart
