6 Years Out, ByBrian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter.

These are not milestones
I look forward to
The wanting the longing
To be with you

The smiles of of others
Their wishes too
The wanting, the longing
To be with you

Flowers and dinners
The day planned too
The wanting the longing
To be with you

Forever, forever
Mom I love you
The wanting, the longing
To be with you

Your absence, no presence
Time took you away
The wanting, the longing
I miss you this day

Like all other days
But this is Mother’s Day
The vacuum is heightened
When I can’t say

I love you Mom, Happy Mother’s Day.

My Mom passed away in 2017. Not on Mother’s Day, but it still is a dark milestone like her Birthday and Holidays. I miss her enormously. If you have a Mom you love, like I did, and she is still around, spend time with her and tell her you love her, with hugs and kisses and smiles and spend time with her. Time is fleeting.
