You Are The Gift I Gave Myself

you are the best of me
and I am yours unconditionally
I think that you ride the sun
where every color has come undone
you teach me things I never knew
my greatest respect I give to you
when the world disappoints and lets me down
not far from me is where you’re found
I look at you and see life’s true art
never is a time you do not have my heart
you are the gift I gave myself
a present that took me off the shelf
things come and go one after the other
but precious is the voice that calls me mother

to Brian and Michael to whom this day would not be
i love you both...mom

I LOVE this write...
Even though mine are at a distance, and I don't see them often enough, you have reminded me why they are here at all...
Great Job.

I AM smiling...
And tht fact should be enough to cause you to worry.

Wow!

I never knew what it was to have a mother
until I came to this place.
You
and a few other poets here
over the past year
have helped me to see
what could not be
when I was growing up.

Thank you!
