Nocturne

 

Most evenings after dinner dishes were done

my Mom sat down and played the piano.

Dad would relax with the evening newspaper.

All of us "kids" would be in our rooms doing homework

or getting ready for the next day.

Always within earshot of her

beautiful music. 

~

What a gift she gave us.

To this day 

certain music she played

transports me back

to a time of

love and grace.

Carried away to memories of

Cabbage roses,

the scent of home made bread,

sweetness, happiness,

utter contentment, 

and home.

Always reminding me to

be thankful for my wonderful mother.

Nocturne was one of her favorite tunes.
