Echoes of Laughter: Reflections of a Moms Absence

In honor of National Poetry Month, I am challenging myself to write a poem. The prompt is: Write a poem that is also a letter. To your past or future self; to a friend; to an emotion; to a loved one who passed away.

I miss you—
With Mother's Day drawing near.
The echo of your laughter, I yearn to hear.
I miss you—
In the eyes of my children, your absence is clear.
I miss you—
Seeking wisdom, and I stand alone,
Wandering through memories, in whispers, you're shown.
I miss you—
Here, amidst the silence,
Your presence felt in its absence.
I miss you
