A journey began...one late September day
Leaves not yet changed...
But I would never remain the same
The 8th...hands sweating but I proceed
Two strong arms to greet me
Warmth surrounded me.... yet I shook
It wasn’t cold ...but my teeth chattered
Thoughts scattered.... big sigh
Then I met Mom.... I still feel her hug
So true...what a heart has she
I listened to her every word...what pleasure
As she danced...I watched in awe
Silently I thanked her.... for who she was
And what she brought to this world
Stephen with a Ph....what a gift
One mom truly treasures. And I know why
Together we danced.... that Stephen and I
I don’t think my feet touched the ground
Lost in a dream I dreamt so many times
Frightened not of him but of I
A moonlit night...full of stars shinning
Pale in comparison to his eyes
Talking sharing holding
Quick kisses in the dark
A ride in the woods…spooning till dawn
Toilet seat left high...laughter filling my heart
I really like the road! Till next time so hard to say.
Forever thankful for that late September day
an eternal snapshot
