Hey
Ma
Susan said you're feeling down
So here's a letter
To fix that upside-down smile
Here goes......
________________________
You need
No more
To look
On social media
You need
No more
To crawl into bed
Feeling
Sad and alone
You need
No more
To craw about life
And why it's so raw
But by remembering
Gratitude
To instead
Roar internally
Like no other
So listen
Dearest Mother
Don't lament getting older
For old age is like a small sin
That haunts the wise
Like a spy
But one you shall defeat
So heed my advice
For the world's but a strange stage
And you're just another name
In an endless history
Written in gold letters
On a long gilded immortal page
So keep walking
On bravely
Be proud to still live
And be glad
You can just
Smile and wave
A gift denied to many
From old family and to good friends
Now sleeping sadly
In their graves
For you've got
So much more love
To still receive and give
As you age
So please don't pause
And greave
For material things
You haven't still received
For all those emotional needs
Are simply
Some of the Tall Man's
Devious tools
He uses to deceive
Just try to be happy this
Christmas
I know you're eighty-two
But life
Is just like
An unfinished business
And when it finally ends
As you kneel in Heaven
Asking your
Most High
For forgiveness
One thing you don't want to feel
Or to be filled with
Is sadness
So smile
Look around and embrace
All you've still got
For so many still love you
And you'll forever be our
Camelot
A beautiful soul
Symbolizing all that embodies true womanliness
By creating a magical time
Growing up
In such a safe place
Within an atmosphere of idyllic happiness
See you soon
And
Love you forever
Ma
Happy Xmas
Xxx
