Message From My Mother

I know you might think I am gone,

haunted in your dreams

by the sad complaints

of night-dark crows

 

But with these hands

I have built so many things

Our family, our friends,

our happiness and joy

You still have all of these 

 

Your memory of the smile in my eyes

assures that time will chase away

the ghosts of your pain.


I will find you again in your thoughts

so we can laugh together,

and know that tomorrow

there will be a sky full of sun
