A Mother's Memory

Prayers - Memorial Prayer

By Tanja Cilia

A Mother's Memory

Wedding bells. Plans. Happiness.WAMothersMemory
Ultrasounds and doppler scans.
Why did she die?

Pink booties. Scented candles.
Musical mobile.
Lace curtains and nursery furniture.
Why did she die?

Drab days.Vacant stare.
Meaningless existence.
Endless days and infinite emptiness.
Why did she die?

Please, I don't want Your
Comfort. Reassurance. Sympathy.
I just want You to know
Will we meet again?
