Come Get Mom

Rate: 7 Flag

Albert, come get mom

pick her up

in the baby blue Rambler

she needs a ride

to the tea cups

to the roller coaster

the trip is over

and the attendant

opens the gate

to let mom out

we follow waiting

down Baltimore Pike

we leave knowing

you are circling your plane

to approach and land soon

so mom can fly free

and see you take off again

with her by your side

high in the Ferris wheel

the sky at dusk tastes young

as if all these tomorrows never passed

and we are together again

at the amusement park

with mom

dispensing tickets

and easy child thrills

now she needs you to come

hover while I pray

I know you are here

to bring mom home

what a wonderful poem for the fourth of July, though I don't fully understand it, I love the imagery. R
oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry.

This is just beautifully written.

Take care.
Knowing the back story as we do.. well, this is very painful MC, but I like how you are handling it. This is wonderful.
Bernadine - thanks for stopping by and reading poetry! my poetry tends to be a tad surreal...

wakingupslowly - thanks for your tenderness.

Trig - ha, I'm a brain puddle...but I must be putting on a good front.
i love the imagery here & the idea behind this. nicely done...really nicely done.
