Poem 1: Mama
The sun set on January 5
It didn’t rise the next day.
The leaves changed a little slower
The stream ran scarce
A part of me was lost that day
A part I still can’t recall
I miss her smile, her laugh
And her sense of humor most of all
On January 5, my world got darker
What do I do with this loss
I see one lone dandelion
and a whisper “baby be strong”
Mama I hear you in the wind
And your smile in the sun
I will forever carry you with me
And realize my battle isn’t done
I woke up this morning
And saw a flower through the fog
I realize there’s hope
And I’m still filled with love.
I started to believe again
Tho I’m still a bit scared
the flower withstood the cold
And I hear you loud and clear
