Poetry from 2014 Grieving Mummy
by Elizabeth Van Cleve (January 3, 2014)
Couldn’t talk to you
in your final seconds
Couldn’t talk to you
in your final minutes
Couldn’t talk to you
in your final hours
Couldn’t talk to you
in your final days
Couldn’t talk to you
in your final months
Couldn’t talk to you
in your final years
but I talk to you now
Maybe you couldn’t hear me
in your final seconds
Maybe you couldn’t hear me
in your final minutes
Maybe you couldn’t hear me
in your final hours
Maybe you couldn’t hear me
in your final days
Maybe you couldn’t hear me
in your final months
Maybe you couldn’t hear me
in your final years
but please, be listening now
I miss the you that you wanted to be
I miss the you that believed in me
I miss the you that lived for fun
I miss the you that loved everyone
I miss the you that smiled so bright
I miss the you that sang in the light
I miss you mummy; I miss you
I miss the little girl that only I knew
