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.
