A distant memory

A distant memory
From a far away land
An hour of reckoning
And a time of reconciliation
With your absence

Try as I might
I can't remeber your eyes
And how they flooded with emotions
Your smile
Whether your eyes crinkled when you did
Your smell and your touch
Was it mushy and warm or what
Your voice
Whether it was mellifluous or thunderous

All I can remember is how I felt when you went away
Left in a lurch
Try as might I can't remember you
All I remember is my feeling of being alone

Today if I want to celebrate you
I can only remember the sound of your laughter
Thats the one distinct memory that I still cherish
The others of your morrow I choose to forget

Hope you found peace that deluded you
Hope you found what your were looking for

Happy Birthday Mom.
