Remembering You

Mother I have some things to share with you

Memories of your glowing face

leaped into my dreams.

Your rounded cheeks,

your sweet rosy skin,

freckled nose, 

and bushy brown hair

embraced me

with love and grace.

I miss seeing you.

I miss our chats and our cups of tea.

Our talks about life

mended my soul.

You've missed out on so much.

Your grandson married

and gave me two grandsons

of my own. 

I wish you were here

to see how life has moved on.

My little brother, your son,

lost touch. 

We no longer speak.

I wish you could mend the bond.

If you can see or hear,

whisper your magic into his ear.

Endear him to me.

Your other grandson

needs strength.

Send your light towards him.

Show yourself to him.

Leave a memory upon him

so that he'll remember

your grace.

You have missed out

on reading my published

books. If only I could pass them

up to you. You'd love

The Island of Love

a Cypriot romance that you'll

love or a thrilling series

you'd read, called

Time to Run.

The Biters the first book

and now,

a second called

Life on the Run.

I hope heaven will grant

you a book.

Today, I visited a church.

I lit a candle for you.

I prayed that I would 

see your wise spirit again.
