Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. Maya Angelou


Mother,

I wish I could remember your face,

It has been long since it was taken from me,

A warm smile,

Bright and alluring eyes,

My nose.

 

Mother,

I wish I could remember your voice,

It has been long since they said it was gone,

Your bad singing,

Your wise words,

My laugh.        

 

Mother,

I wish I could remember you,

It has been long since they switched off that machine,

Your warm embrace,

Your confidence that I did not inherit,

Your wit and allure.

 

I am angry that you were taken,

I am angry that the very memory of you was too.
