My Mother She Would Love This Poem

today i went  to
the Sonic
but not for
ice cream

i drove up and talked
with the drive thru
and they were so 
very nice

they gave me what
i wanted and
i did give a
complicated
order

then i parked 
and read the paper
and watched the 
other people in 
their cars
interacting with
each other

that is when it came.....

the missing came to me
so strong i physically
felt the blow to my
stomach

i wanted to go to tell
you what i saw
that was really 
funny

but....alas you are
dead and gone

i remember you used 
to say in a humorous
voice....when we would
talk about someone
that went on with life 
after a loved one died

and you said....oh but
it is o.k.. their husband 
or wife pass
because the deceased
are as dead as they
ever going to be
 
then i  clearly see
you tilt your head and
look that look
with your
cornflower blue eyes

they needed to move on

well, mama, you know
that i know that you are
but i don't  believe you
will be
dead as you are you
are going to be

leastways in my heart
