Happy Mother's Day Mama... Wherever You Are...

[sikolto]

For Mother's Day, I went up to Caney, OK where I go to get my head on straight. I went there to talk to my ex's mother who died back in February. I placed flowers at her grave and sat, again for an hour. Time stood still for that moment. Nothing else mattered. I was taking in the moment, the still of the cemetery, and the time that I was spending with Mama. She had such an impact on my life no matter what happened with her daughter and me. I was still treated like a son by her and a member of the family by everyone else. While there I grabbed an envelope and started writing. I had many things going through my head and I wanted to write them down. This is what I wrote.

I came to see you Mama,

To wish you a Happy Mother's Day.

Your breath disguised as a breeze, marked your presence.

Then as quickly as it began, it was gone.

My butterflies came back, one by one.

Then the Breeze once again blew in,

This time the wind chimes placed at your grave began to ring.

The moment was just as magic,

And curious and exciting in so many ways.

I miss you, Mama, and the strength you had.

You kept many of us glued together, no matter what happened.

Again Happy Mothers Day, you will always be with me...

In whatever I do.
