Today
is mother's birthday
she would have wanted to celebrate
with family and friends
with lots of food
and lots of conversation
she loved the mix of the two
among people she was her finest
how she loved to talk and visit
her family trait
she had no greater joy than
being among her family and kin
the mingling of loud conversations
and loud laughter
the hum of people mixing
having a good time
with stories and jokes
enjoying each other's company
we recall those days
in memory
relive them once again
in memory of her
we were not there
when she passed
but I am sure she went
with a smile on her face
trying to get one last word in
before the door closed forever
it's just the way she was.
