This is a collection of poems I wrote from 2001 until a month and one day before my mother passed away. I have not edited anything other than the overall journal (not the individual entries) since my mother died. It is odd how I divide my life into before and after this or that event. I didn't start writing until about four years after my father passed away and I pretty much stopped writing much since my mother passed away. The distant moon baby I wrote of is a little over three years old now and doing fine. She has my mother's eyes and my father's name. She lives far away and I am about to meet her for the first time in June of 2009. And so it goes. I will not add to this book now that mom is gone, but I will continue (I hope) to write poetry now and then. My mom lives on in her great grandbabies and in all her children and grandchildren. |
