You have secreted the <br>Key and unlocked and closing the door, <br>Are sitting facing your image in the mirror’s <br>Glass you’ve propped against a chair. You <br>Do not have your mother’s hair. You have <br>Her eyes, Father said, although he says it <br>Less now since her death, as if stealing <br>From the dead. You want to transform <br>Yourself into her; be the woman she was; <br>Have her beauty; have her smile; her gentle <br>Manner. Cancer took her like thief at night; <br>Reduced her to a bag of bones and hanging <br>Skin, pale and thin. Forget that image, Father <br>Chides, cast it away, lock behind the mind’s <br>Dark doors. You want to look how Mother <br>Looked before her sad demise, before cold <br>Cancer’s deceit and lies. Still a child, Father <br>Says, you have all your life to live; leave your <br>Grief behind, but you want to be as Mother <br>Was, like the coloured picture in your mind.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Terry+Collett">Terry Collett</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=527814" data-title="How Mother Looked de Terry Collett" data-description="You want to look how Mother looked.
