Celebrating Mother's
Day May 9, 2010
To Mothers Everywhere
Never knew what true loneliness was till mother died.
At the time, I was a middle aged living far from home.
There was always the phone; someone to ring and
complain about life, she reminded me to wear “Long
Johns” when it got cold.
Then the impossible happen, she died; misery and
a silent phone. I’m an adult now have to sort out my
own problems, but when loneliness is a mist of gloom,
I remember her phone number it is engraved on my
Mind; ring her and complain about life
