Ahh this is heart wrenching, as my mom passed away in Feburary, of course, I was not a child, at the time, but an adult, yet still the fact that she is no longer physically present, brings pain and a sense of loss. In spite of much arguing and discontent, I know she loved me deep from within. And I loved her too. I am still learning to cope with her loss and yet at the same time I know she suffers no more.

Maria, I'm glad you could feel the emotion in this piece, but I'm sorry for your loss. I was once told that it's better to grieve while reflecting on the good memories, not the bad ones; so remembering the love you shared with your mother is a great thing!
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Sighhhhh, its amazing how just three little words can tell such a sad story ~ that has my heart hurting so bad right now.

I look forward to reading more of your work William, and if this poem is an example of the rest it shouldn't take too long.

Take care & have a blessed day.

Thank you for your kind words, heavenscentgirl : )
But no, most of my poems aren't this short, as you may or may not have discovered by now ...

Yes, I know ~ I was just trying to lighten up the moment, for those 3 little words really tore me up. It is unbelievable how those words can paint such a sad visual into one's mind.

Again, well done William.

Day-um! Pretty close to "Jesus wept" and just as heartbreaking. Mr. Liston, this was startling in its brevity, and wondrous for its huge impact. Hmmph! Makes my heart hurt.

[William Liston]

I'm glad this brief effort could leave such an impact, Carol. Your words are greatly appreciated : )

Spooky! Although quite adequate within itself, it provokes a desire to write the girl a story. Unique. Good thought. I.I.

[William Liston]
