Poetry good for the soul?

Question

I love the poetry section on Answers - this is a poem I wrote for my darling mother who died over 30 years .I sat holding her hand before she died

You thought I could not hear you as you held my hand and cried

You thought I saw no tears fall as you said your last goodbye

You thought I was in darknes and never saw the sunrise

You thought I never saw your face with sadness in your eyes

My dearest one I heard you as you held my hand and cried

I saw your tears fall as you said your last goodbye

So think of me in fields of gold bright flowers beneath your feet

So think of me as petals float and brush against your cheek

One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock four

Reach out your hands and hold me

Just as you did before.

"Dandelion" by her daughter Irene
