Writer's Digest
Prompt: A Lingering poem
Thoughts of You
Linger
what lingers after
you have gone the feel of your skin
silk under my
fingertips the sound of your voice i hear in memory
the smell of your
hair your tears your smiles
again your smell
lingers in the covers where you slept
the anxiety and
worry of the growing up years if only i could have known
it would all work
out maybe not the way i wanted
but it would all
work out i wonder did it have anything to do with me
so unprepared no
way to know it is only after you have gone
i begin to have some
idea still learning to let go even after all these years

"Still learning to let go even after all these years...." It is the hardest thing, especially for mothers........yet our kids are determined to follow their own paths........another beautiful poem, my friend.
