Eyes shut but still alert,
You say for me to stay with you
at your side
So you can tell me of when you;
were my age
So I will learn the way I should by
mistakes, accidents, friends
So I can look up at the night stars and say
I made my life worth it

You said I should burn
forever, my soul
Never ceasing to stop
not even for a cold wind to pass
a disturbance in my silent pass;
And with that you told me we have
no silent pasts;
only loud memorable ones

So that's what I decided to do
To live my life like
you would have wanted and
live it as a moment,
not a string of events
as a pool of light flooding from
the open window in your bedroom at night

Touching and memorable, I like the way you thinks.
What'a lot a talent you got. You make me jealous!

What a strong and wise mother! I very much enjoyed this intimate and personal poem.

What a way to live... what a tribute to her... well done!
