Emotions had raged within her heart and soul
She felt she would never settle down
Have a night’s peace
Have a good day
The death of her mother had devastated her
Her last parent
The father, the step-father
Passed long ago
Her mother lived with her
She enjoyed a parent from the adult view
Not the view of a child
They laughed together daily
Her devastation was compounded
She was in the room when her mother passed
Now her mother’s ashes rest
In the house where they both lived
The day was a bit cool and she needed something
Mother’s sweater was still in the closet
She put it on and felt comfort
She felt the embrace of her mother once again
(This is dedicated to the mother of a dear friend. Her mother died recently.)
