I chose Mother.
Still
My mother was gone
by the age I am
messages
she might have shared
are nowhere found
there’s no lead
to follow
no clues to see
she didn’t go here
it’s all new to me
I write my life
by first-hand view
no warning words
no clear cut signs
an unmarked path.
Still,
I want to ask.

Lovely, delicate blossoms ... that only exist for a short time and are often taken for granted ...
Beautiful, both photo and your poem :)
You've outdone yourself this week. Such a heartfelt post.
I bet she is watching over you and offering up her sweet words of wisdom. You may think of it as hunches or intuition, though.
I hope that you find little bits and glimpses of the answers you are looking for. Hugs.
You get answers thinking of her, I'm sure.
Great words.
...and need to know...
aww sweet sue.. this brought tears to my eyes. So sorry your mom is gone... with Mothers Day a few days away..this was a beautiful topic to choose.
'there's no lead to follow' just so moving! excellent poem (happy mothers day to u sue!) xox
and I would love to echo Skittles words.. she is watching over u!
Very touching HOTS this week. Wonderful!
Such a touching poem, Sue. While your mother may not be here to lead you, I believe, too, she is watching over you.
oh, this is a beautiful piece. i also don't have my mother beside me anymore. thanks for visiting.
I like this one, and its haunting, downbeat ending. The Lily of the Valley, taken from below, is a perfect accompaniment.
It's good to be reminded that there are worse things than dealing with an elderly senile mother.
Mine never did have very good advice! I walk and learn and make it up as I go.
Sweet Mother's Day poem.
Lovely Lily of the Valley.
