a tea leaf from China is all it took.

A single tea leaf from China
By
Jude Kyrie.A tea leaf from China is all it took.
I cleared the house of all her things.
In her room her glasses and an open book.In my old room a final look
So full with memories that life brings
A tea leaf from China is all it took.The tables gone from the kitchen nook
With the vase that bloomed in a far off spring.
In her room her glasses and an open book.In the kitchen cupboard a rose china cup
A single tea leaf on its rim my tears it brings
A tea leaf from China is all it tookI see her drinking from her favorite cup
Her quiet time away from family things
In her room her glasses and an open book.Thats when the grief hit me dark as soot
Her lips had touched this tiny thing.
a tea leaf from China is all it took.I see her planning her meals to cook
You are my children you darling things.
A tea leaf from China is all it took
In her room her glasses and an open book.

Goodbye Mom

I love you

Hi Jude This one made me cry so poignant
So sorry for the loss of your mother
it is the tiny usually insignificant things that
remind me of my own mothers passing
that make me feel so sad and tearful
A very beautiful heartfelt write
