A Visit With My Mother

There was excitement in her face
Her eyes sparkled with liveliness
As we discussed the affair
She had almost fifty years ago
Her fine old handsBegan to dance between us
As she told me stories
Of the man she once loved
Remembering things unspoken
Forgotten for decades
She laughed a giggly laugh
Before bursting into tears
