A poem for Mums.

Saw petals in the wind

Caught tear drops

On my chin….

It gets like that

When your not here

.

Its a cold cold night

For the month of July

Beads of tears well

Up inside….

.

How I wished it wasn’t so

But!

What must be: must be

You left me here

I know you tried to stay

Even in your longest night

With me you joked

” I’m no  Norma Jean, and you

You ain’t no Jimmy Dean ”

We laughed most times shared

BUT!

Mom  I miss ya…
