This old picture of Mother and me stirs emotions…
As I look at this old picture
and into my mothers’ eyes,
when she was young
and I a child,
and you
an unborn soul.
I see her hope and her love for me.
As I look into my own eyes,
I see wonder and I see hope
and I see you.
Even then I knew you were there,
in the wind and in the rain.
You were always there.
And when loneliness consumed my youth,
I dreamed alone with you.
Your spirit took a body,
your essence took a soul,
but you were lost to me
In another time, in another place
