Mum

Your proximity to heaven scares me. When I drive to see you through winters dark, I am frightened that you might already be there.
I do not like that you walk with such difficulty, that your hair is thin grey and that I feel pain when I watch you move.

Crisps, sweets, grapes foist on me though I rarely eat them.

Repeated questions about repeated subjects,

'What was that?' at every texts chime

Still angry at people I have long forgiven.

Then,....a meal. Not perfect. A bit dry...  you worked so hard on it

     -   For me

     -   Your reason

Thank you my darling Mum

I love you  xxxx
