My mother never fed
Me leftovers. She spent
A lot of time fixing the
Best meals I will always
Remember. She’s gone
Now, but her meals are
Not the only loving
Things I’ll remember
About her.
Tag: always
Never Say Never
When you’re about to
Give up and everything
Looks hopeless, give it
Another try. And a
Second try and a third
Try will always do it–
Perseverance!
Bob Forehead
Bob always had a large
Forehead. He was used to
It, since it was a family trait.
People would comment
About it, but usually not in
A derogatory way. He
Convinced people he was
Pretty smart.
Exploring
Exploring, it’s always a thrill to find an
Unlocked, deserted hospital building.
It’s eerie entering into rooms where
Patients have died–listening to the
Sounds of their last breath, making
My hair stand on end.
Leaving
The way we talk about leaving,
Even as parts of us we uproot
Keep growing back underground.
Once rooted, always rooted.
Skeletons in the Closet
Most people have dirty little
Secrets that they hope no one
Ever finds out about. They can
Hear the rattling in the closet to
Remind them that they are still
There. That person constantly
Fears the skeletons will jump
Out of the closet and start
Talking.
Institute of Emotional Stress
Institute of Emotional Stress, or IES
Is located in a multistory building
Downtown. It is rumoured that their
Treatments were unorthodox to say
The least. Walking by the building
You would always see, on any given
Day, patients being thrown out of
The windows. This is how the
therapists got rid of their stress.
Mom
Mom’s been around for
A long time. At 98 years
Young, she’s sharp as a
Tack, soft spoken. And
Mom is a little hard of
Hearing. Her love for
Her family and in-laws
Is real and returned
Back to Mom. It’s easy
To make her laugh.
And her gentle nature
Wins everyone over.
We want Mom to last
Forever.
Little Oriental Housekeeper
Emi comes in my room
Every day smiling, and
She always has a
Method for cleaning
That she follows. Emi
Moves to the next room
Until she is finished for
The day. The rooms
Always look spotless
After she is finished.
I’m glad to have Emi.
She is such a hard and
Reliable worker.
Let’s Ride
Americans are always ready
To get on the highway and
Take a road trip. Going to
A different place every
Summer is something
Families always look
Forward to. Hook up a
Travel trailer and camp
Out in a new place every
Evening. These are
Vacation times to
Remember.
