A Glimpse

I had forgotten so much
about my son and his life.
I didn’t think I’d forget a second,
but every photo we scan
brings back a stance,
a look, a mannerism forgotten.

The sadness is strong here. Glad you are back blogging again!

Thank you, Mary. You are an inspiration for me and I think I sit down to write sometimes because I think you are waiting.:)Thanks for being a good friend.

Judy, you are on my reading list. I lost the love of my life, and sometimes I go back and look at old photos to be sure I don't forget. But I know in time I will. I have forgotten much about my mother and I loved her so dearly.
Perhaps that is for our protection, so we can go on without so much pain. I don't know.

Glenda, your post touches me so. I know your pain is so fresh still. I send you my hugs and prayers. I'm so glad you read my words and find it amazing. You are such an incredible poet and writer. I feel honored.
