Let me read it to you.

 

Where Is She?

Copyright 2005 by Abbie Johnson Taylor

 

Always there for me,

She felt my sorrows,

celebrated my joys.

Now she’s gone.

My life is in turmoil.

Where is she?

 

Back Story

 

I wrote this poem in 2005 to express the feeling that my world was being turned upside down after receiving an unexpected marriage proposal from my late husband. “She” refers to my mother, who passed away six years earlier. I wished she were still alive at that time.

This poem appears in My Ideal Partner: How I Met, Married, and Cared for the Man I Loved Despite Debilitating Odds. Thank you for reading.

 

 

Abbie wears a blue and white V-neck top with different shades of blue from sky to navy that swirl together with the white. She has short, brown hair and rosy cheeks and smiles at the camera against a black background.
