I Thought You Had Left Me Forever Poem by Patti Masterman

I Thought You Had Left Me Forever



I thought you had left me forever
But lately I'm not so sure
I check the mirror only to find there
Your own coy expression: demure

I open my mouth with amazement
Because it's very loud and clear:
When I laugh, out comes your laugh
With the same little twinkling tear

My attitudes are so like yours
My mannerisms just the same
I'd miss you more if you weren't everywhere-
I guess it's our own little game

So I'll tell you all that's happening
And you loan me your mutable face
I'll shine like the star that you always were
And the sadness will leave in disgrace.

for my mother's birthday Aug 12 1924
