my mother said,
sounding so dry,
non-empathetic.
I cried.
She said "Hush, now."
I sighed.
What else was there to do?
Never being allowed to show my emotions,
always criticized
for seeming too sympathetic
I realized
how surprised she would be
for me
if she knew how guilty I felt
about not remembering
if I had ever told my brother Doug
about the love of the Lord
