Hearts Don't Litter

A late mother's day post. Happy Mother's day, ma.

Somewhere, lost
In the madness of the day
You'll find me, gathering
Windswept thoughts of you
Stuffing them down
In an already too full bag
Taking with me what I can

Author's Note

I was a bit resentful this past Mother's day... I hope that she and the universe accepts this as an apology.

Even though I'm a mum and a grandmum, Mother's day this year left me with mixed feelings, having lost my own mum in February. For all those who celebrate the day, there are some who won't for a multitude of reasons. My bag too, is overflowing with memories. A touching poem Delmar and one I understand.

GGorgeously sad, marvelously written. I was touched. Mothers fill us with so many thoughts and emotions. They live in our hearts forever.

I really miss my mom....Mother's Day was tough.
I had windswept thoughts...and wished I could call her and wish her a happy day.
I can't, but reading your poem made me feel a bit closer to her...My too full bag is overflowing.
