Kaleidoscope Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Kaleidoscope



The pictures flash across my mind
As memories of you unwind.
Your loving touch, your sweet embrace,
Your soothing voice, your smiling face.
Your patience came from who knows where
So much love and time to share.

The many things you did for me,
You spanked my butt, and patched my knee,
Sewed my clothes, played
“Lets Pretend”
Dried my tears—you were my friend.
I remember you were always there
Ready to love—willing to care.

I wonder, do we ever say
The things we really should each day?
Like,
“Let me help”...
“I am sorry too.”
“Miss you”...
“Thanks Mom”...
“I love you.”
Though many words I left unsaid.
I hope you felt my love instead.
