Before You Go Poem by Bonnie Collins
Before You Go
Looking back, I know you had a bad
life, I understand the pain you endured
as a child, I know that now and feel
badly that before we couldnt have
reached this platu with one another
Seeing your smile, always reasured
me that all was right, watching you
dress, with your pretty clothes and
with the beautifull matching underwear
with lace and soft satin all with
beautifull aroma of your lingere drawer's
sachet, still registures in my mind
Tweed Cologne, with Channel No.5
each of them remind me of you and
how pretty you were to me when you
had your makeup on and all dressed
to go out with Daddy
I sit here holding your hand, and
can recall like yesterday the aroma
of your baked apple pies
Mother, please know, you did the very
best with what you had, I know that
now as an adult and know you will be
leaving soon, but before you go
please know that I love you.......
very touching understanding a love and their hardships......WOW 10 ASIA

The last stanza of this poem is much touchy.10 for this beautiful composition.
When i read this i think about my own mother and even my own grandmother. This is something that made me cry, and i hardly ever cry. Love those that love you. Ashley

Bonnie this is a beautiful piece. thank you for it. It reminded me of my dream. At the end of last year, I had a recurring dream, in it, every night i would go home and help my parents on the farm, after sometime, life became the dream and i literally used to wonder where I was.. Thank you.
This poem brings about a beautiful description of your memories.. Enjoy it much..
Bonnie Such an understanding you have of your Mother and how she did the best that she could. As children we have no understanding of how the job of Motherhood is not an easy one. And, I love the sense of smell you used to bring another depth to this poem. Lovely! Karin Anderson
