Just Another Mother

Another mother lights a candle,
And sends a prayer up to the sky.
She’s beyond the reach of angels now,
Or miracles.
All she wants is to know why.
Her little boy with big dreams,
That didn’t quite turn out as planned
Grew up, and tried his bit to change the world,
Now he’s living in the sand. (more…)
Gift Box

Your love has been a gift, grandmama,
a great big bulky box wrapped in arms
and tied together with wrinkled hugs.
You kept your smile preserved in a jar
and all your children’s baby teeth in jugs.
You ruled the kitchen with an iron glove,
you taught us how to bake with sugar and love.
You would complain how this and that would swell
and show us all the smarties that you have
to take and tell us nothing beats Tee-Jel.
I found you in an old medicine box
in the garage, left there in the dark,
a dusty brown box, there to remain
until the day I see you again.

Roses are red
Violets are gorgeous
Reading your wall posts
Makes me feel nauseous
