Mother's Advice
A child's voice
determined, whining
and ignorant of
life's true loss,
the sorrow of a
motherless heart.
A phone call,
5 words already
known, an extra
ring on a finger,
a man whose love
turned savior.
3 years of
a voice, futile
attempts to annoy,
words that held as
much truth as a
prankster.
Suddenly absent,
a mother, whose
advice finally
taken, to leave
children to
their games.
Sorrow Is..
Sorrow is
a blue casket
buried too
soon.
Sorrow is
a stuffed bear
left alone,
untouched.
Sorrow is
a list of songs
no longer
heard.
Sorrow is
when it hurts
more to breathe
than to live.
