In The Last Ten Seconds we follow a young woman as she goes through all of the things that she does remember about her mother and their relationship but how no matter how hard she tries she can't remember the last ten seconds of her mother's life. By the end of the poem she has shared her inner most memories of their bond, a truly emotional story of love and the journey to take the first step to move forward. The second poem in this collection Eulogy is about the struggle that a women encounters when she is faced with writing her mother's eulogy. With so much to say and not enough time to say it in, where does she start? What story does she tell? How does she say goodbye and wrap things up in just two minutes at a funeral? She finds direction in the guidance of her father that gives her very simple advice, "Look to heaven and she will be smiling down at you." Sometimes it is the simple advise from just the right person that makes all the difference.
