by mom's bed table
 a half-knit yellow sweater
 waits where she left it
my boy child and i
 the day's sole inhabitants
 watch a hummingbird
my first Mother's Day
alone after your passing
I'll love you always
i dream of your eyes...
 fathomless pools of sea blue
 looking up at me
i see in those eyes
 a mother's greatest treasure...
 unquestioning love
you never grew up...
 in my heart you are a man
 tall as your father
your blue eyes are kind
 they still sparkle like star shine
 your smile lights the room
you're holding flowers
 just like when you were little...
 my heart overflows
wherever you are
 your mother's love is with you
 for eternity
Always beside you, my beloved son.
rest in peace Sudan
may those frozen sperm samples
make many mothers
i second that wish...
 thanks to Sudan and his friends
 for future rhinos
The news of Sudan's passing made me sad--how much beauty this world loses every day--but I do hope the efforts of his carers, and geneticists, etc. will bring back the northern white rhino. I guess it's a gamble, but a little hope is better than no hope at all.
