Mothers Silent Tears

<center>Mothers Silent Tears

Looking out a window into the distance,
sitting in her rocking chair,
A mother remembers her love of yester year,
when he was young and fair.

The good old days were fun;
families enjoyed doing things together,
After working hard all day,
they’d enjoy a meal cooked by mother.

Life was simpler back then,
you were rich without having money,
And there was a special love and friendship
amongst the family.

The laughter of her loved ones is ringing,
in the back of her wondering mind,
Where pictures of each one of her children,
are hidden readily to find.

All grown up now with families of their own,
Each of them gone in different directions,
and now mother sits alone.

Father up and left one day with the angels,
through the blue colored skies,
As she pictures his face,
you see a tear fall from her eye.

Her partner and best friend,
her one and only true love,
Patiently waits for her
in his new heavenly home above.

Longing to be with him,
and to see his smile once more,
Today she longs to hear
if but one knock at her door.

Maybe today the family will visit,
and bring the grandchildren along,
And she’ll have some company,
maybe sing the little ones a song.

Loneliness grips her heart
waiting for the telephone to ring,
To hear the simplest word hello
what a big smile it would bring.

Day is done the sun is gone
and now darkness fills the sky,
A mother sits in her rocking chair
as another lonely days gone by.

Feebly she slips out of her favorite rocking chair,
To fall asleep once more
and dream of her love who’s no longer there.

Silent tears fall down her cheeks
as loneliness grips her heart,
For she knows one day she and this world
will one day have to part.

One can only hope and pray
families every where,
Would come to realize their treasure
sitting alone in a rocking chair.

Don’t wait until the lord decides
to take this dear gem home,
And you realize too late she’s gone
and you are left alone.

It’s today she sits wearily
with all of her silent tears,
Longing more and more
for her family to draw near.

Thank you Prophet Poet..I lost my mom when I was 17 and that was a long time ago..but it always feels like yesterday.
My heart it with you as you go through this pain.. I'm happy the poem touched your soul..but sad to see you in much pain.
Cling on to the sweet smile she always gave you the touch of her hand on hers.. her laughter ringing in your ears.. a kiss from her on your cheek..remember all those time spent together.. and you'll nevr be far from her becasue those memories are stored in your beating heart.
Don't remember that she died..but that your mother lived.
God Bless You Prophet Poet..

Luv Godspoetess D.

My goodness I see Lady Byron you've been really doing some reading.
I read as many as I could today also, started at the top and worked my way down. I'm trying to read them all.
Have a wonderful day.
