Prompt: “When I see my mother”
When I see her now
she looks so much younger—
filled with songvigorous and happy, radiant…
sorrows past, still in love

Note:
My mother died on 15 November 2016 (age 94, and my father, a little more than 3 months later, age 100), and I have been trying to write a poem for the Day 14 prompt from PoetryPotion: “When I see my mother”. It took me a while, but it was a writing prompt I wanted to respond to. (Also posting this on my Quilted Poetry blog.)
