Ode To Deloris

Originally written 1/5/96 I looked back… In my mind In my heart And saw you standing there As my school bus drove away, Waving until we disappeared Two Babies in tow. I looked back… At the meals we ate Made with loving hands, The carpet swept super clean And scrubbed to a wonderful, clean smelling softness By young, soft, agile hands. I looked back…. And I’ll never forget the love you gave me, The hugs you gave me And the path you beat for me. I looked back, MOM And I found you in me. I miss you Mom, there’ll never be another you. Gone too soon 7/18/51-1/18/14
