Have you seen my heart; because it hurts when I should know….and don’t. I try to think of who you are and can’t. Have you seen my mind; because it’s lost when I try and try to know but only you know that you are my daughter.
Some may look at me as if I have no mind, that I am just a stupid person who doesn’t know anything. I know so much and my mind really is filled with voices, pictures, fun-filled days and my mom’s tender touch and laughter.
But now, it all remains there up in my mind at so many different levels most of which is just a blur. If memories remain at all in my thinning mind, I won’t be able to share any of it. Have you seen my mind…. it’s swirling, all mixed up like a tornado sometimes. What I have left doesn’t want to come out in an orderly way. If I could put the puzzle pieces together, I would have a story resembling poetry moving softly like a summer breeze through the leaves.
