Katherine Lucille Hutchinson Aycock
This is my Mother. She is eighty-five. She has had a lot of health problems in the last few years....She has had two hip replacements and in 2007 she had a car wreck and broke her ankle. She does not get around very good anymore. But we are so blessed to still have her with us. I wrote a little prose about her the other day. I'm not sure you could actually call it a poem.....
TIME SLIPS BY
I woke up this morning, the sun was up…the day had started…was slipping by
I tried to remember what I did yesterday…but it was just like the day before
And tomorrow will be the same way…I won’t remember what I did today
Somehow I must stop this cycle of time passing by and always wondering why..
She is eighty-five, her once porcelain skin is sallow, lined with life well worn…
Her speech comes slowly trying to catch up with her thoughts again….
She falls easily, things slip from her shaking hands which once sketched life…Commercials make her cry…Memories are fading… The day I was born…
Tears slip from my eyes...she sits in her chair…book in her lap…chin on her chest…
In and out her breath flows….she looks so fragile…she is so fragile…time is slipping by
Day in and day out….the time passes by…remember her voice…her laugh.. I tell myself
Before It’s too late….tick-tock…tick-tock…slow down slow down…Time just rest….
I love you...You deserved so much more in life….but complain….never….you’re a saint
Think back…look at photographs…remember..remember…you were our rock…you are still….seamstress…artist…marching band….french braids in my hair…you twined them there.. remember….remember…slow down… time…rest.. but….time slips by…becomes faint…
Remember Remember
Tick-tock..Tick-tock
Rest..rest…rest…
Slow down…Slow down…
Katherine Hutchinson Aycock on her 85th birthday.
