Ten years I’ve been without her.
Ten years I have been free.
Still passing her belov’ed Plane tree
that she first pointed out to me.
Ten years of doing my own thing.
Ten years without reprimand.
Still acting as impulsive as ever,
without being slapped on the hand.
Ten years not hearing ‘I told you so’.
Ten years of missing unconditional trust.
Still re-opening age’d battle scars,
from the times we did combust.
Ten years of heartache and agony.
Ten years it’s taken, til time forgot.
Now at last I’m ready to admit it –
She was right sometimes, but not a lot!
Ten years of thinking it could have been different.
Ten years of knowing it simply could not-
‘We were too alike’ as she said often –
on that, she hit the spot.
Ten years without my sparring partner.
Ten years on freedom’s trail.
Still a decade on I so miss her –
Mother Dear, I’m starting to wail.
