Day 15, of OctPoWriMo 2019
What a challenge this is. Nearly half way there. Will I make it ??? I don't know but I will try.
Prompt today - Mother May I ...
Mother May I
Mother may I sit with you
like I used to do before
Listen to your warm soft voice
telling of days of yore
Drink some tea out of china cups
best that way you say
eat your brackbread spread with butter
thick on top it lay
Mother may I tell you things that
meant a lot to me
Things we never talked about and
Now can never be
How hurt I was by all the times you
criticized my life
how every time your hateful words cut
through me like a knife
I know you thought yourself so kind
kindness was your thing
But for me and mine you always chose
a meaner song to sing
And now you're gone and it's too late
to rectify the wrong
I wish I'd had the courage then, to
stand up tall and strong
