Miss you mom
It's hard to face Mother's Day
without you here
Your depart from us
was gradual
and I sensed
your fear
In the past
you would call
with a problem
that I could easily fix
Powerless, am I now
because this time
I haven't the tools
to repair
your weakening mind
Watching you forget
and become
a space in time
There is no one
to blame
Long I have grieved
But I will never
stop missing
the life you and I weaved
We were as close as
mother and daughter
could be
And I am grateful
that I can still
join your hand in mine
And I know
In your mind
You see
me and mom
My beautiful mother has advanced dementia and lives in a loving memory care facility in Santa Cruz, Ca.
Aww, I am so sorry. You must feel so helpless.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure when your Mom was your age, she looked the same :-)
Hope you'll still get to enjoy Mother's Day together.
