My Heart in a Letter

It's sad and about love.

Dear Mother,

I wish you could live forever.

Your advice leads me to great decisions.

Your love makes me believe in life.

Your presence keeps me sane.

 

I know death is creeping up on you

Because all the signs are there.

There are wrinkles on your freckled face,

And white strands in your long golden hair,

 

The truth is, I never want you to die.

You are my only true friend,

The only person willing to listen till the end.

The only person willing to accept me for who I am.

 

Deep down I know I can’t stop the mortal clock.

It ticks every day, taking seconds of both our lives away.

All in all, there’s almost nothing I can do,

But I will keep loving you.

Author's Note

Hope it's okay. I'm open to constructive criticism.

I truly loved this, it reminds me so much of how I feel with my own mother. She's 60 now and sometimes I just space out and think about how it would be w/o her. It's hard but this is a beautiful piece. well done.

Best,

Laurara Monique
