sometimes when i miss my mother
sometimes when i miss my mother
i feel for the pulse on the wrist of my wife
hers is steady and strong
waiting there
as my mother slowly slipped away
a nurse taught me how to find the pulse
in her final moments
when she stopped breathing
her heart ceased beating
and her pulse faded away
i felt it in my fingertips
so now
sometimes when i miss my mother
i feel for the pulse on the wrist of my wife
hers is steady and strong
and i know exactly where to find it
