Forgotten

Feature Image

It seems I’ve forgotten my Grandmother’s eyes
My Uncle’s strong chin
My sister’s sweet smile
I can’t face myself in the mirror without shame
It seems I’ve forgotten my own Mother’s name

The years strip our memories, where’s the surprise?
That I have forgotten
My tender young years
I can’t face myself in the mirror and find blame
For I never knew my own Mother’s name
