Mother

One mother is worth more than a thousand school masters.

Mother

Mother

With tears you shed the moments

Every leaf must one day fall

Recycled breaths move you along 

Tempo paces rhythmically 

We'll one day nail your photo to the wall

Out of our peripheral you will slowly give way

To a new sight which we'll engage 

Waves of my oceans will trouble 

Nostalgic trips to the times we could've had eases the surf 

A hideaway, you become. 

A safe haven, a familiar turf.

Comfort be by your side

Time cut short with the end of life

Yells yield warnings of desperation 

Without you, premature maturation

Lessons taught by powers of nature

Days gone by, many brought me to my knees

I stood yet again, don't worry my brother always aided me 

I don't remember, but I never forgot

The softness of your touch, and your kind heart

Nothing is created nor is it destroyed 

Little parts of you roams around making sure we're keeping up

Particles of the tears you once cried, that was carried away with time

Now flows down my face, what a disconnected way to connect to you.

Word of mouth has kept you alive

Mother, you came and you're gone

You're little boys grew

Like the cancer that took you.

I was 1 year old when she passed. she was only 33.. but I am still able to find that sanctuary in her.

:*( wow... >.> Seriously.. Were you in the background... Nevermind but this felt like a sermon on a beautiful day in spring.. Or even a visit years later.. Heart wrenching.
