Reading this I can feel how much he means to you. As a parent you want to make sure you are doing the right thing and of course we have the memories of the children growing up. But we forget we are the child as well. We have past memories further back of being raised. Hmm this is making me feel more than I thought. Very good writing.

Oh. The buildup in this. All the details and building blocks of growing up. Cherishing our memories and time.
Time is the most reliable thing. It is ever present and we tend to push it aside. Put visits off or do a check in occasionally.
I completely relate to this.
My mom is 75 and doesn’t get around like she used to. This year i did all the cooking and she still felt the need to
to be bossy! Even when we were at the grocery store! Hahaha. It’s a mother/daughter thing! Her gift to me is humor. It was always in our household.
And love, I can feel this in your write. Even the admiration and respect you had for each other.
This got me a little teary eyed at the end.
God bless-

Thank you for your comments..yeah my mom is 75 as well..older people in general have unique personalities..for sure..I try to sometimes picture life through lenses and think they feel life moves way too fast in general..and the speed everyone moves around them..but in their mind they are still young but their physical body tells a different story..I was humored yesterday..Im driving my mom around to handle stuff for my dad’s funeral..I have gps in my car..no matter how many times I said I dont need directions my mom would be like so we are gonna turn right up here or we could go up a little further..it was funny and (slightly maddening) but looking at things through her lens she never had gps or technology to assist with things growing up..and as she would say they did just fine without it..it’s good to have family and share their love and laugh at the moments that are special..thanks again for sharing your cooking and grocery shopping mom story

Oh, I am glad I discovered this (not for all, but for me) and I must ask you this: have you made any audios of your work? this is only the second one of your works I have read, and it begs the be heard. I must say I’m a bit prejudiced in that, being one who comes from that stable, but this really would be even more impressive aloud. Nice work, sir.

I haven’t done any audits yet but will be in the near future. Thx for the positive vibes, FD.
Much respect

If you do, let me know; we have a Spoken Word category here now and a lot of us are building a library, of sorts, of diverse works. Check it out; there are some excellent pieces there.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent lyrics my friend. Really dig the musical accompaniment. I heard gospel and r&b elements maybe a touch of Motown. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

A lot of the bones for this was Southern Rock. I always enjoy how you feel out all the textures. It’s like a treasure hunt, finding all the pieces that make it a cohesive whole. I rolled into nostalgia and came out with this one, my friend

Not everything comes shiny and new for Christmas but its the effort that counts
Unfortunately, when tragedy happens it doesn’t care what day it is.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas Day:). Always focus on the positive here and now chica:)
They carry us through the hard times.Merry Christmas 🎄

I’m not chasing shadows. But I feel strongly about honoring the roots, where I came from and what molded me into who I am today. Those experiences taught me to pay it forward, appreciate what we have and keep the fire lit in the heart. Thank you, Adelphina

Dear W,
Beautiful, heart felt, heartache, touchingly gorgeous I could go on. Every word so poignant and meaningful you’ve painted a word picture that has touched me beyond measure. Beautiful write. H🌷

I live a dual awareness, I think. Because I’m so familiar with the shadows, I’m aware that others might be struggling even while I’m thriving. I was there once. And could be again one day. I honor those memories and those souls as best I can. My experiences helped me raise a daughter more aware and giving than she might have been in other circumstances. We believe strongly in giving back and paying it forward. Thank you, Honoria…it’s good to see you roaming the halls

This poem honors the truth many people carry through the holidays—the quiet grief, the missing chairs, the love that survives scarcity. It’s honest without bitterness, and that makes it powerful.

Good times may dawn, but I never forget where I came from and where others might still be. It’s not about wallowing in the memories, it’s about honoring them and making space for them by the hearth. Thank you so much, Thomas
