NOT EVEN A MEMORY, by                    
First Line: Today is mother's day
Last Line: Of a nestling baby head.
Subject(s): Holidays


Today is Mother's Day.
You wear red for your mother,
I wear white for mine
Just like many another.

The years have filled me with longing,
And hope and longing again
Until hope ... and longing ... and hope ...
Have changed to hunger and pain.

No one ever remembers
The one in whom hope is dead;
I have not even a memory
Of a nestling baby head.
