3WW--Three Word Wednesday
Today, January 23, the words are- Breath
Scattered
Tomorrow
Tomorrow she will be gone;
her breath scattered,
her words silenced.
Only her deeds will remain.
Bone posts 3 words on Tuesday night or Wednesday. The challenge is for you to write an essay, poem, thought, etc. using the three words, post that at your own site, then comment at the 3WW site, and the others who are participating. See you there. Or here. OK?
what a lovely tribute to your mothers remembrance.... her words will never leave you.....
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Norma.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss, and I think the poem is as paisley said a lovely tribute. The first line is the most powerful for me, mixing the tenses in a way that says so much.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand "only her deeds remain" It's a wonderful way to memorialize your mother
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow. There's something about a mother's death that's so hard
A wonderful tribute - well written, tender and thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Norma! I enjoyed that. I'm sure you have some wonderful memories of your mother.

Deeds and influence are two great things to leave the world.
She is watching over you too..
