Today's poem is excerpted from the co-written book Rhythm and Rhyme... the poem speaks of mixed feelings and memories of a parent that had passed on soon after their funeral. 

I Remember Well

I remember

Her exhaustion

Impatience sharpened

Shining in her eyes

A gentleness rose

When hurts revealed

A tender hand where

Abuse once lived...

A wounded lamb

With haunted eyes

Trusting few…

For few earned it

A lioness, protecting

Then switching to 

Condemnation at the

Slightest error...

I remember singing

And gardening 

Bitter sharp anger

Shame and horror

And the overwhelming

Ocean wave

Of love
