Mummy I miss you

 
Mummy I miss you
I saw you most days.
Nothing too exciting, 
just coffee, shopping
 
at Tesco's or in town.
A trip to a garden centre,
sometimes the pet shop,
or sit down with the dogs 
 
on the step drinking cider 
from porcelain mugs, eating
biscuits we shouldn't have
while my kids run around.
 
We talked and we talked 
about nothing and everything,
picking up conversations 
continued from before.
 
My children interrupted, 
were noisy and demanding
but you love them anyway
and we love you just the same.
 
Mummy I miss you, 
although it may not show
I think about you often
and I thought you should know.
 
It won't be long now mummy,
I look forward to the day
I'll pick you up in my car,
we'll go to Tesco and have
 
coffee from the coffee shop 
in mugs brought from home.
You'll be fine and I'll be fine,
there'll be no more concern.
 
My children will interrupt 
and be noisy and demanding 
but we'll talk and we'll talk 
and we won't mind at all.

Very sad. I hope you and your mum get chance to spend time together soon.

Still waiting? You must show her the poems when you see her again! Rhiannon

It will be a while longer. She sees my poems though and we talk on the phone but it's not quite the same is it. 

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

This is so sad and made me cry. I'm sure with good reason for temporary absence she feels the same and misses you for doing all the ordinary things. But the talking is good, all the same. Keep doing that till you are back together again. She'll love this poem as much as I do, I'm sure of that.

I'm sorry it made you cry Bee. It's not sad because there is lots to look forward to very soon and it won't be much longer now.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

Thanks Terry - it's not my best poem but it was written from the heart.

this is a lovely piece to read. there's obviously more to it than i could know - but reading lines and in-between lines drew me in.
