    i pretend to sleep...
    you and your daddy giggle
    outside our bedroom

    "happy mother's day!!!"
    you bustle in laden with
    pancakes and flowers

    "oh, what a surprise!"
    kisses, hugs, and syrup spill...
    lilacs bloom in joy

    Remembering you today, as I do every day, my dearest son. The joy you gave me never ends. I'll love you forever.

      i see you always
      in the corner of my eye
      with all my dear ghosts

      Missing you, Mommy. Happy Mother's Day.

        i wonder today
        what sort of man you would be...
        my heart has no doubt

        Your precious memory makes this Mother's Day a beautiful one for me, Gower. I love you always.
