For My Mother
A little girl
Sitting in the front seat
Of a pickup truck
In her mother's lap.
Laws different then
Didn't need seat-belts
Scared were going to crash
Driving too fast
Remember being scared.
Mom holding me
On our way to a picnic or fishing trip
Either with Mick or Norma's friends
A little girl
Burying my face from the reckless world.
Mom knew I was scared
Said it is alright
Holding me closer
Turning my fears into her soft light
I will remember this moment forever.
Sometimes a racing mind
Can arrive at warm memories
Fears vanishing
To discover what I'll find
Maybe there is a soft mind.

I enjoy writing as a vehicle not only to express myself, but also to get the word out. I also enjoy politics, and the politics involved in articulating a good piece. View profile
