No Time Left
There was not ONE last time for a kiss from my
lips to yours...
There was not ONE last time for me to share an
enjoyable experience with you,
There was not ONE last time for me to share an
enjoyable experience with you and your family...
There was not ONE last time to look into your
eyes without there being disgust, anger, or hurt...
There was not ONE last time for us to share in the
warmth of each others' love...
There was not ONE last time for us to hold each
other lovingly before parting knowing that we would
be together again later...
There was not ONE last time for me to be there
when you returned from work...
There was not ONE last time for me to assist you
in the housework and care of your children...
There is not ONE last time for anything, nothing is
left now but 2 broken hearts that must find time to
mend and 2 children who now hate me for causing
so much pain to their mother.

Poetry: The last good-bye
Mother, I thought you'd always be
Here in my life, here with me
Missing your phone calls and your jokes
Your "look at that"
by Carrie Harp
Palm
Place your palm against the water
Feel the tension float away
You know you could sink forever
You can swim another day...
by Rena Kay
Called Home
You buried me on that cold and blusterous winter day.
The mourners had left but you chose to stay.
Snow swirled
by Joy Adderton
Did you know on that frightful day that it was your last good-bye?
Did you have it all planned out?
As you packed the kids
by Kelly Stoll
Polka-dot-dress dancing.
Pearl earrings to match.
Satin ballet flats,
A shawl midnight black.
Rose colored blush.
