A Message To My Mom



I caught myself dialing your number today.

I just wanted to say hello.

It’s been a while since I’ve heard your voice.

I miss our little chats about nothing in particular.

They seemed so unnecessary, and sometimes even a bother when my days were hectic.

I wish I hadn’t taken them for granted now, wish I had not been annoyed by those interruptions.

It told me that I haven’t been in touch with you for a while; that I should send you a message.

How I wish I could!

I miss our little chats in the afternoons, when we talked about silly things.


What you were planning to cook for dinner which, was always something yummy sounding.

I pulled your picture up on my computer and sat – looking at your image, remembering the many things we’ve done together, places we’ve gone throughout the years.

I realized that those times are gone now – gone forever, but the memories still linger.

I sat alone, looking at your picture, wishing I could call, or IM, or send you a message – because I just want to tell you – I miss you mom.
