How my senses remember my mother

Dear mama, I still remember your essence. My five senses carry memories that still feel your presence.

I still feel the warm touch of your hand holding mines in the cool as you walked me to school.

Whenever I close my eyes I get a picture of a warm smile on your beautiful face that time cannot erase.

As I ride around in my car playing your favorite songs I hear the tone of your voice from when you’d sing along

Your words are never unheard. Your sight is never overlooked. I can still smell the good meals you used to cook.

I’ll always remember the sight of your beautiful face. I’ll never forget the warm of your touch. I love you always and miss you very much.

Dedicated to my mother, Ruby Lee. My senses will never forget you.
