PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Mom, hope you can hear me, I miss you….

I would love to see your smile
The one with the wink and smirk
Smug, like you knew it all
But then again you probably did

I would love to watch you dance
I wouldn’t even make fun of you
We could listen to Lynn Anderson
Or Helen Reddy…There Goes Ruby Red Dress

I want to taste your beans and sauce
Chicken dumplings and meatballs
I want to smell your dove soap
And sheet size apple pie

I want to feel you touch my face in the middle of the night
Just to make sure I was breathing
I want to brush your hair
And watch Gone with the Wind

I want to hear you talk to rabbits
Yell at my friends
Recite “One Fat Hen”
And tell me you love me.

Feel free to call anytime from above,
I won’t be scared like the last time
I won’t hang up, I promise.
