Today I woke Up Crying
Today I woke Up Crying

Today I woke Up Crying


No it wasn't a bad dream , I didn't hear any bad news,
Still I feel sad, I feel heavy,melancholy somehow ,and I miss someone.

Someone I haven't thought about for a little while now
Not that they have ever been far from my thoughts , memories are gentle and soft.

Today I woke up crying and the sadness wouldn't go away.
So as I made some fresh coffee and
 decided to let my heart I feel this way


Mr Red Robbin Saw Me Crying

Its a Friday morning ,

Fridays are good , almost like they give you permission to unwind, or slow down ,like its prize giving day for showing up all the other days in the week.

From busy exec to busy mum ,don't matter , if you were present, you get the Friday award too. Fridays are good, this Friday is good in a sad kinda way

Today I woke up crying,

I think I know why this certain
Friday is good

What happened to my heart ,as I slept before today

And as I stood on the porch, admiring the sun spreading her warm rays on everything in her path , a curious Red Robbin cocked his head to say:

Hi, whats up with you today?


Silently I answered " Today would have been her birthday" and I miss her love so, and heard her voice saying " I didnt want to leave you this way"

Today I woke up crying
For so long her memory has kept me strong and although ive lost my way at times, she had come to remind me on her day
Keep hoping , keep living , keep smiling

Was just me calling your heart this Friday to remind you

All this time
I never did move that far away

Love from your Mum.

For my Friend Mr Robin

You know I don't write poetry either, but I decided a couple of months back that I would do so when I can finally write about my mom, who passed away in December, 2007. Right now it still hurts too much, but like you, I hope to do so one day when she enters my thoughts like all moms do.

Thanks for writing this, it is very special.

Hi Dori , An old lady told me once ,that tears were a language between our hearts and Gods, and sometimes its to wash away the crap that He dont want us to carry anymore too.

I used to wonder seriously how much one person could cry!!

Take care ~ least we know, we have feelings huh.

Im back!! I discoverd a thingy that lets me see all the comments I made so I can come back and see what new is goign on. Its almost as exciting as smileys!! I too, have lost some dear ones, and remember some days in much the same way. Day to day is better now, but its kinda like arthritis, the wound didn't heal all the way and every once in a while, like when it rains, it aches some. I still really like this poem. And its not all the way a "sad" poem to me. Its hopefull some too.

Love for your mama is eternal and so very deep. I lost mine 20 years ago and talk to her daily.

But I have dreams like that as well, they still throw me.

Thanks for sharing yours,

Well girl, I am so glad that I was pointed in this direction. How ever did I miss this one? I too have a sad day remembering my loved ones who have passed. Ach well, that is part of living I reckon. Don't want no one to feel sad when I am gone, be happy. And yes, the ralwus seems to gather much any more. LOL Hurting people need some love and tenderness once in awhile. Some like to turn to the old ralwus. Well, I don't mind at all, I been there too. Hugs dear one. CC

I was right there, with you, in the mood of that poem.

Sometime I'd like to share one I wrote, similar, about a loved one of mine who suffers from depression. I'm not ready to share yet, but maybe sometime...

Anyway, I like your simplistic heart-grabbing style in the poem.
