I used to write poems several years ago and this one was one of them. The graphic was made by me, I was always making all kinds of graphics, but don't anymore.
Today would have been my Mother's 99th Birthday.
The Locket
The night was dark, I was drawn to the attic,
And there I sat on the dusty old box
My mind wandering back in the past,
To the sweet lady that's in my locket.
Complexion of peaches and cream,
Eyes that always smiled,
Colour bluer than the day time sky,
Brighter than a star.
She walked each path of life with pride,
Head held high,
Always smiled,
I thought of the sweet lady that's in my locket
With the young one by her side.
Today I remember her, today is her day,
- I always remember her -
For she is my mother, and I am that child,
In the locket.

A beautiful memory.

DeleteMy mind has a really hard time with poems. I even took a poetry class in college where I had to interpret poems. What I remember about that class is that every poem she has is review had to do with sex. The graphic is very cool, I wish I had that talent.
ReplyDeleteMine did when at school too. Sometimes it's hard to interpret poems. Leave much to the imagination.
DeleteThanks re graphic, I remember I would sit at the computer till late at night working on my graphics.
A beautiful poem Margaret and the graphic too. I know you miss your Mum, I miss mine too. I think we always will.

DeleteIt's so good to hide something deep in a drawer and find it after many years. Such poems are a record of the past years, a record of feelings, impressions, tastes, colors and mood.
