In Memory of My Mother

moving in any direction now seems impossible to do--I hate how the feeling of losing you is too new

today you would have seen sixty-one
but His plan had already been laid
so I smile to hide the tears that will run
for you're one of the new Angels He's made

I will try to persuade my heart to be joyous
I may will myself to put on a guard
Sometimes bitter, but some times sweet
you told me that my journey too often would be hard

I've never been the most patient
but I remember your smile when you thought of how far I'd come
of all the blessings I received in my life

by far, you were the greatest one.

I'll always love you, and I'll miss you Forever.

Stagnant

a fist full of tears thrown at a mind full of fears

face wet at the prospect of the tears that are really years

I laugh inside my grief while I grieve within my laughter

I miss and I miss... so I act so indiff

I hide while I step away from the crowd

I speak in low tones because my voice is too loud

I am someone's daughter, but I am no one's child

So I will hide because I stand out from the crowd

And act indifferent, because I miss... miss so much

And I'll grieve within my laughter as I laugh within my grief

Wet faced at the prospect of the years that are represented by shed tears

For my mind full of fears is only worth a fist full of tears...
