Never Say Goodbye~This is How I Choose To Remember

This is How I Choose To Remember
By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney ©14


This is how I choose to remember...
This majestic, gracious, colorful..
Cherished Mother/Mentor/Sister friend...
Poet/Writer/Actor
Dreamer/Dancer/Orator
Nobel Laureate/Believer
Giver to all her daughters not of her womb.
And to her son & sons
Guy/Lydia/Robby...
Far too many to name
Who by merely being the sum of it all...
The fears...
The tears...
Triumphs & tragedies
Rising far beyond
But never submerging the faith
The all that might not have been
Had she not gone the way she chose...
The many me's not of her womb...
That were shaped...
Defined
Refined
By the stature
The grace
The pace
And that voice!
Magnificantly rich
And endowned
Surrounding you
Dancing & tickling
With its resonance & radiance
That cadence...
This is the Angelou I choose to remember...
In all the days...
Until she gets the call...
And answers.
