REMEMBERING MY MOTHER RGAaPoet@aol.com
I walk the silent, lonely streets,
In sombre solitude,
Pondering over things that were,
In ever-changing mood.
Through sifting mists of time,
I see my mother's kindly smiles;
The hands that reached to brush a curl;
The arms that hushed my cries.
I gaze into her loving face --
I kiss her weary brow,
Longing, in vain, with heavy heart,
That she could be here now.
Full well do I remember,
The times she flew to meet
My father, working far away,
To make our lives complete.
These were the times my little heart
Could not keep back the tears,
And I would sit down, all alone,
Crying to curb my fears.
Oh with what joy I greeted her,
Whenever she came back home!
And how I almost raised the roof,
To know no more she'd roam!
The years rolled by, and fate was kind,
Until one day in May,
Of nineteen-fifty-eight,
My mother passed away.
The tears I shed, the pain I felt,
I hide, but can't deny!
And deep within the heart of me,
I know that I still cry....
