POEM STARTER
Awakening
Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.
mourning
i awaken to a day without you
to a summer with no baking
no velvet church pews and smiles
no hand holding, soft and safe
i awaken to a mother without her mother
a granddaughter who tries
attempts to fill her mothers halfway heart
that broke when you passed on
i awaken to the reality
that my mother will one day do the same
and when my daughters look to me
i hope i do not break too

Thank you for sharing this. It made me think of how heartbroken my father was when he lost his mother, my grandmother. Reflecting on the love that was shared tonight.
