Memories In A Locket You didn't think I saw you Wishing on a star Looking to the heavens Drifting from afar Hands around a locket Held close to your chest Time lost with the moment For you were truly blessed Moonlight on the water Reflections from the sky Stars that twinkle brightly As the clouds drift by Gentle breezes in the air Your hair danced with the wind You looked down at the locket Then looked back up again I watched you slowly close your eyes And say a little prayer Suddenly you were gone And I was standing there Hands around a locket Held close to my chest Memories of a lifetime Yes, I'm the one who's blessed |
Additional Notes:
I remember when my mom found out she was going to die in a few short months. Her and I went outside the hospital and she just held the locket she wore around her neck in her hand as she just stared silently at the sky. I still wear this locket.

Rene',
This is a wonderful piece of poetic craftsmanship and I am so pleased to have read it.
Mothers are a special breed of person and we don't often see their expressive moments
because they can be very personal and private for them and they do not always let us see them.
This poem expresses such a moment and it is unfortunate that it came when she had so precious life left to share. The moment you have captured and shared with us is very generous of you. The imagery is beautifully laid out throughout your writing and it read softly and gentle as you carry
the reader to the ending. You are so observant and I know your Mom it smile at you as she reads your words.
God bless you. Love, Paul
