Moms Stories

 

The stories she told-

so often-

go unspoken now  as she is gone.

 I did not really listen then  -the repeated stories from an old lady

But now

 If I could

I would like to hear her -one more time

tell me a story -

-one I know by heart --have heard many times -  could repeat on my own

My eyes would not roll nor would I mention that I knew that one 

No

I would sit - I would listen -- I would smile

Like I did when I was 5

If only we could hear their voices once again. Why didn't we listen more attentively? Beautiful read!
