Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Last Dance with Mom

I was a senior in high school

When Mom came down with cancer bad.

I felt that God was being cruel,

Making my family so sad.

Of course Mom was the strongest of

All the family in the way

She just kept on giving us love,

Even when she had a bad day.

When Mom at home peacefully died,

I kept feeling that Mom was here,

Still at home with me deep inside.

I didn't go to senior prom.

I danced with the ghost of my Mom.
