For my mother

~ Tonya R. Post

Everyday
An attempt to divert
The impression, reflections
Oblivion of remembrance
A recollection
Memories
…Of her

Everyday
My endeavor to prove
To demonstrate
Display
My love
…For her

Everyday
Holding on
Abiding my time
Waiting, anticipating
Wishing for a moment
Alone
…With her

Everyday
A struggle to remember
My thoughts, actions
My words
The mouth from which I speak
All to please
Never disappoint
…Her
