sitting in my mothers chair
pain is etched everywhere
feeling the aches and pains
that she must go through
living in her solitude.
a house is not a home
if no one picks up the phone.
a telephone call is all she asks
it's not much of a task.
staring at the pictures of her
grand childrens faces.
recalling when she was younger
with no lines or traces.
that old age would soon appear.
it was something that she did not fear.
now her medical problems have gotten worse
she is more or less an invalid, and needs a nurse.
this is something that she always feared
the burden upon her children, far and near.
yet there is something that she does not realize.
that all her children love her
and will always be close by.
Reminds me of a poem my brother wrote for our mother. The last two lines went something like.... Thoe we are all grown and out on our own There is nothing like the love we seek from our mom, on our visits home. There are some memories that will stay with us for ever, especially when it comes to Moms. Thanks Louis for putting it out there.
We must have love and respect for our children, they will come through in our golden years, which might not be so golden after all.....
So much i miss my mom if I had to stay away from home for any reason(studies) I would get worried if she doesnt pick up my call for a while and if it is for abt a day or two my anxiety accelerates along with ky heart beat! Wondetful dedication and tribute to dear mother! I loved it the most dear brother!
