  • Been on a hiatus for awhile, but I'm back and have the itch to write some poetry.

Left Unsaid

I wish that you could live again
if just for one more day
there's so much that I didn't do 
and never got to say
I never told you what you meant
or how much I really cared
I pray that you'll come back once more
for that dance we never shared
I remember all the things you did
to help to make us grow
I never really told you thanks
or ever let you know
I never told you about your smile
and how it made me feel
that in the way your face lit up
I knew your love was real
some people looked down on you
because you had no job
I never said I knew you did
the one of being our mom
I took you for granted
I thought you'd never leave
and now i'm left alone
left to morn and grieve
to think about things left undone
that I wish that I could do
and tell you once, just one more time
that I truley, honestly loved you
...I miss you Mom

oh Travis...I understand. It's so hard to lose our parents...my mom and dad are still alive, but eight years ago my mother-in-law died from cancer...I was her hospice care-taker. Gut wrenching experience, the guilt from wanting it to be over (if only for her pain to end) and once it was, all the things that were left unsaid. I am sorry for your loss...it's a hard one.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
