Mother's place

sorenbarrett


Her life part of your life
Her memories part of yours
Her smoke dissipates as notes from a fife
Its waning scent endures

An old relic put in the closet of the mind
A worn out skin shed
Hand made blanket you don't want anyone to find
Pulled out at night, wrapped around you in bed

    I often put the coat on that my mum gave me as a present, you just always get it so perfectly. A hug from beyond. 🌹

      Thank you Teddy as thoughts pass through the mind I have to write them down. I so appreciate the supportive comments

      I so understand the need to do this. I wear my mum clothes. She died two years ago. I can still catch her scent on a good day. It keeps her fresh in my memory. Such beautiful sentiment here.

        Yes Cassie I had this passing thought and as you said sometimes it is too late to express gratitude. Thank you so much your words mean a lot

        Both parents play a very important role in our lives, but we are more attached to our mothers. The sad part is that kids don't understand their true value until too late. No one can really pay back their mother or father.

        Thank you for this poem Sorren. It is another reminder of the importance of MOTHERS.

          So true Saleh I have adressed fathers in other poems but you are right there is something special about mothers that carried you inside them for 9 months and in their arms when small and in their heart the rest of their lives.

              As someone who lost his Mother as a young child this rings as true to me; I will take your word for it.

                Thank you Dan for your review and comment. I learned my mother's value too late in life.
