Things I Should Have Said
#MothersDayPoem
The fragrance of my childhood,
Hides in the folds of your embrace,
Even though you can't hold me
Because I'm too far away
I think about how you held me
When my world was a wreck
Caressed my aching head
When I was sick
Carried me home when I went away
I still remember the fateful day
When You told me you had cancer
It was my eighteenth birthday
Your last chemo...
The fragrance of my childhood,
Hides in the folds of your embrace,
Even though you can't hold me
Because I'm too far away
I think about how you held me
When my world was a wreck
Caressed my aching head
When I was sick
Carried me home when I went away
I still remember the fateful day
When You told me you had cancer
It was my eighteenth birthday
Your last chemo...
