Years ago, and for several years, I drove from our small town to the Milwaukee area (Wisconsin USA) to help with my mother’s care.
groceries for Mom
fresh flowers
always on the list
another year
has passed since
my mother’s passing
I sit and quietly read
a book she would like too
lily gardens
in January
I remember
their flowers
in July
and perhaps
because they
will bloom again
now is beautiful too

we stay
seasons
snowdrops

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
time with old friends
poems in a journal
from years ago
found an old journal
more blessings noted
than I knew

Daily Prompt

reading memoirs
and then the view
