Memory of a Mother
It has been fifteen years.
Still I don't truly know who you are.
I was only two ...
I remember some things,
They've told me stories.
Or do I just THINK I remember you,
Because of the stories I've heard?
Do I really remember you?
Do I remember the nights you rocked me to sleep,
The days you never wanted to leave,
The mornings I woke up to your smiling face?
Or are they figments,
Simply wishes for those times to be real?
Now I sit with my picture of us,
Reminiscing, or am I?
