Briefly paused the world that day..

Simple words..3rd anniversary of mums passing today 09/04/22

Even though tides still ebb and flow,
nights cede to day and seasons change,
the one true constant wanted, needed,
is now naught but raw, emotional, memories,
that bring tears when least expected.

lovely poetic words gee.
you must've had a wonderful relationship with such a special mum to have wonderful lingering memories.
not everyone is that lucky, mine is going to 99 in august this year, but I won't be putting pen to paper when she passes.

cheerio carola

ps. i read your comment on patricia’s poem ‘Sorrow Spills Red’ & i totally agree with you regarding ukraine.

[Gee]

Such a late thank you, apologies...Thank you

[Betty Hermelee]

everything changes except the memories I keep in my heart, not always pleasant ones but sometimes painful ones...they seem to remain, with tears in my eyes. Soft and heartfelt poem Gee.
Best, B

[Gee]

Thank you Betty

Thank you Lisa

[Chris Shaw]

Aw, how much she is missed. How the eyes still water when the memories flood in. Touching words Gee, heartfelt and beautiful.

Chris

[Gee]

Thank you Christine. You'd better staple your wig to your head as we are due high winds :))
Hope you are all well

[Lorry]

No rhyme or reason to mourning, we put on the brave face mask, for the sake of others and those unfathomable rules of propriety, while our light is on with no sign of anyone being home, lost in the eternal moments where what were once such beautiful memories of times shared crumble us into never quite full submission, leaving only the hollow ache of loss.
Perfectly stated Gee. Those simple words of yours must come from Ronseal... Does what it says on the tin, to perfection.

[Gee]

Thanks Lorry.
I'm shite when it comes to dealing with grief, more so with other folks.
Hope all is well up North

[Tinabells]

I loveee this! Even the title caught my eyes! Nice work Gee :)

[Gee]

Thank you Tina

My heart goes out to you--I lost my dad two years ago and it's been really, really hard. I admire your ability to write at all--I had to take a total creative break when I lost him.

I don't know if you intended this, but the way none of your lines rhyme, it feels really despondent. It's heart-breaking, both in the structure and the subject. Again, my heart is with you.

[Gee]

In so sorry for your loss. Thank you

[Stella Armour]

Tears are good, they help the healing, she would tell you that i am sure ♥

[Gee]

Apologies for the late thank you Stella

Gee,
Indeed you will feel this way for a awhile . . . lost my mother 32 years ago to Ca. Yet time doth heal.
Thanks for this reminder around Mother's Day.
Tom

[Gee]

Thanks Tom, appreciate your words.

My oh my, what a gently, loving tribute this is, Gee. Such beautiful words for a beautiful woman. And they make you very much and more, her son. Sad days for you and your family but, wrap around your memories, my friend - they'll hug you slowly better.

[Gee]

Thank you EmmaJ. Mum passing seems a lifetime ago already :(
She always said she would come back as a Robin once gone, have seen several in the garden over the last few weeks :))
Hope all is well with you

[emmajoy]

There are all sorts of wonderful signs to let know that our sleeping darlings are still hovering.. they always will.. always. Believe me, i know that for sure. Sore back, me but, there are others far worse off. Sending kind thoughts and hope, as always.

[Gee]

Ladies of a certain age should leave the digging, bending, barrowing, weeding, to younger folk, and instead sit in a director's chair to do nothing more than point and delegate :))))

[emmajoy]

Almost forty is a certain age, is it?! Humph! And there was I hoping to become part of the glitterati but, minus m' working boots and knee pads!

[Gee]

Lol..........
