Waiting

I know you're waiting

For that ride 

Your love is coming 

Finally 

To take you away

I'm happy for you

you'll have no pain

No more worries, or woe

Youth will find you again

My heart bleeds 

For my mother 

Is going home

And I'll miss you 

Forever more

For June

For June

If I could have picked

A mother-in –law

She’d have been

A lot like you

A giving mother

With a sense of humor

Who taught her children

To be clever and kind

To be generous

Without a thought

To express themselves

Without worry or reprisal

That debate was lively conversation

Within a family

No ill will was thought

That acceptance to the family

Was because love abided here

I miss you ❤️

RIP June

If I had wings

If I had wings

If I had wings

I’d want to fly

High up in the sky

To touch the heavens

To see your smile

Just one more time

To hear your voice

But even now

I close my eyes

I hear your voice

Your wisdom echoes

Deep within my mind

I see the smile

That could have launched

A thousand ships

But that chose

To birth and raise

Six children

How lucky we were

To have such a tender soul

To teach and guide us

Thank- you Mom

For everything and know

We miss you still.
