Linda Stroud Poems

I've often pondered in my heart
Why all the aches and pain?
I've often wondered since you've been gone
When will I ever see you again?
...

Mama, I miss you so much
I really miss your laughter too,
I miss our deep conversations
For there were some things I just never knew.
...

In my big crayon box
I found a beautiful rainbow,
I found different races of people
That I would just love to know.
...

Mama, you went off and left me
Without even saying good-bye,
You left without a warning
And I can't help but wonder why.
...
