Poetry
A MOTHER’S DREAM
The coffee was steaming as he brought in her tray.
He said, “Good morning, Happy Mother’s Day.”
With a soft loving smile, he set the tray down.
He helped her sit up, and smoothed out her gown.
She gasped as she saw the single red rose.
And cried as she read the card with its prose.
“Mother, I love you, and have all these years,
“And I hope this day brings you nothing but cheers.”
He held on to her hand as he pulled up a chair,
And gently he stroked her face and her hair.
As he leaned close to kiss her well-wrinkled face…
She awoke to find no one else in this place.
It was only a dream, she felt an ache in her heart,
For too many years, they had been far apart.
No angry words, just a job here and there,
He was always so busy with no time to spare.
Oh, over the years, he had written her some,
But she would still pray that one day he’d come.
She felt so alone, and her eyes brimmed with tears.
She was so tired, and her heart filled with fear.
Now she was old, and her time wasn’t long,
She knew that soon, her life would be gone.
Then, in the stillness, she heard a soft squeak,
And as the door opened, she saw eyes shyly peek.
The coffee was steaming as he brought in her tray.
And he said. “Good morning, Happy Mother’s Day.”
