The anticipation of a conversation
a moment’s pause, a heart’s sensation
An expectation of words unsaid
A binding connection, a delicate thread

The fabric was woven, the story was told
a legacy kept, forever to hold
A journey of words, a longing to know became a tapestry rich, a narrative to grow

The art of conversation, a gentle guide
leading me through the labyrinth of time
To listen to memories, a heart’s treasure a mind’s archive, a soul’s measure

All that you were and the joy you spread became part of me, of who I am
Reflections of my younger days your voice, your presence, your beautiful face

Our memories, an album of distant times
keeps the joy of better days alive
Reluctant to embark on unknown paths
comfort comes from waves of our past

Your existence upon which I became
was a guide, a light, so much more than name
The courage you showed throughout your life
echoes deep within the depths of my mind

In that stillness, I found my voice
A sense of clarity, a heartfelt choice
The silence beckoned, I found my way
to a place of peace, where love will stay

Dear Mom,

My world, my rock, my everything,
Every second I miss your soul,
Since the day I lost your light,
My heart has not felt whole.

I’ve wondered vallies of darkness
And sailed through seas of shame
And crossed caverns of confusion
And over mountains of pain.

On my path I lost some peers,
So all alone I conquered fears,
And through the never ending tears,
I found your gift of hope right here,

Inside my heart, you gave to me,
A gift far greater than anything.
Your little secret seed of hope,
Has help me cope with suffering.

Like a tree, I’ve grown up strong,
And it’s all been thanks to you.
Your seed, your soul, your shining light,
Is what has seen me through,

I know that all this pain,
Has all been for a reason.
It’s taught me that I cannot run,
I must embrace each season.

I promise, mom, your gift is safe,
I’ll cherish it oh so dearly.
Thank you, mom, for all your guidance,
I see my path now clearly.

I am The Tree, I am The Light,
And because I am your son,
I will not keep this gift to myself,
I’ll share it with everyone.
