Warm Bread

So often I think
of a woman who
is many years dead.


I was too young
and selfish once
to know or share
her grief.


               Now I
miss her beautiful hands
and speak only
as a son can speak
and think of the things
we left unsaid.


                        All this
whenever I break
into a piece of
warm bread.


John Wade Publishing

I love the nostalgic feel to this write. It reminds me of my grandmother, known for her homemade bread - dough needed with aged, tiring, rheumatic hands.
Reviewed by Lois Christensen 5/25/2008
Beautiful eulogy and remembering your Mother's warm bread should comfort you. I know many of the things my mother baked and cooked cannot be duplicated and taste as well as hers did. So she is with God in heaven and eating of the leaven.

Oh Sweetie, I do love this and I know that your Mom knows how much you love her. Very nice.

YES John,
I relate well to this great poem.
I long to say things to one so wonderful but is
no longer physically here.
Her spirit, my sister Sylvia's, is never far though
and at times she's very near!
Thank you for a great write!!

ALL THE BEST TO YOU',

Reviewed by Jerry Bolton (Reader) 2/18/2005
This is warm and nice and full of the realization that so often we allow the good in our life to go unnoticed and unappreciated. Of course, there is also the other side to this coin, some aren't able to look back all that fondly. Good, very good poem.
