Hankies in Her Pocket
By
Lisa A.Williams
She held them
tightly,
in her apron
pocket,
feeling the soft
cotton,
delicate embroidery
of dainty butterflies
in pink and blue,
faded from all the
sadness
their wings embraced.
Sadness
with no beginning,
no end,
just an endless
stream,
searching for a soft
familiar place
where like treasure
my mother’s tears
were saved.
I really like 'dainty butterflies in pink and blue'. Nice. x
