Poem from my portfolio

Waiting for that call

Cold and lonely nights
Waiting for a call
Never hear the phone ring
It’s hard to accept you’re gone
Every night you would call me to tell me you are on your way home
The night you didn’t call me I knew something was wrong
I waited all night long
Ring…. goes the phone
I jumped with excitement & then dropped the phone
It wasn’t what I expected, It was all wrong
It seemed like it was a nightmare that lasted to long
Until this day I sit by the window and wait for that call
Thinking “no it can’t be, my mommy cannot be gone”
