The Day I Came To Vist

Jeannie

The sky was clear.

Air was cold, not yet

warmed by the morning sun,

on the day I came to visit. 

I found you amongst the others.

Sat  down beside you.

I  spoke with you, telling you

about my days, but mostly cried.

 

Hoping you were listening.

That  you heard me. I begged

you to give me a sign that

you were with me. 

 

I wanted to feel comforted.

I needed it.

Instead I left in tears, 

On the day I came to visit.

    It may take a little time, but trust me, they do hear you, and you will feel them with you. My own birthmother led me to her obituary and grave site in 2000.

      Thank you. My mom passed away end of June 2000. It is a little crazy that both , you finding your mom and I losing mine. I've just had a rough 4 months and I just wanted to feel her with me that day.

        In the beginning of my poems here, I have a poem I think you'll relate to. It's called "This is Not Good-bye".
