To Mom On Your Heavenly Anniversary

Today is your Anniversary of 38 years in God's
place.  It is interesting how the years flew by.
I hope I have accomplished what you wanted for me.
I am a poetess and author now.  Although I have not
sold a book yet. I have been thinking about you over the
past few decades.  And I wonder what you think.

I need a sign.

You probably know why I have not been
able to visit your gravesite.  And put my favorite rose
there.  I have missed our talks.  So, I write what's in
my heart.  I'm almost 75 now about the time you left me.
And yet, it feels like yesterday.

You weren't here when I married.  But I'm sure
you two are together waiting for me.  I miss the love
we had and I know its value.  I only want to know
one thing, do I continue on this path of writing?
or is there something else I should be doing?

I need a sign.

It doesn't feel like you're gone, but we can't
physically meet.  However, I feel your presents
or is it, my husband?

I write asking what is my gift?  If I am using it
correctly? So, I end with your approval and His.
What I must do?  In spite of everything I love you, Mom.

I need a sign.
