On Mother's Day
Peace and serenity surround me
As I feel her arms around me
Amid mist, her countenance is light
My eyes well up with delight
"You didn't betray me! I knew you'd never ..."
"I live in you; I am with yours forever."
"I want to smell you in real too.
O' Mom, but this vision will end soon.
Hold my hand tight, stay with me.
I seek refuge in your sheltering tree."
The light fades and air gets chill
As I lift my head from the window sill
The clammy fingers of reality grip me
Her silent farewell has ripped me
"We are apart again, but you live in my heart
I'll meet you one day never to part!"
