The Letter That Can't Be Sent

I visited Mom this week and wished her a Happy Valentines Day.

Some days are harder than others...

I love you Mom.

The Letter That Can't Be Sent

I miss you, Mom.

I yearn for your embrace.

Of course, it's not the end;

I know I'll see your face.

Yet, it's hard right now

To know you're not right here.

To come back home without

My mom to say, "Don't fear."

So, I wrote you a letter

But there's nothing I can do

I can't really mail it

So it sits and waits for you

Sometimes it just stabs afresh

While I keep stumbling along

And trying to forget--

Make out that I am strong

Some days, I guess 

Are harder than the rest.
