MOM

Love

1999

You gave me life
within a caul
You loved me so
You’d pick me up
Each time I’d fall

You held my hand
You said my son
You may be small
But you’ve got Viking blood
So stand and walk tall

And when in doubt
You’d hold my hand
And kiss my face
Your love is everything
Your love is all

In silence I lie
Remembering the fullness of life
The endless ways and means
The tangled webs
The recurring themes

Random memories enter the frame
They appear then filter away
So real it seems
The tangled threads
Of archived dreams

The carriage of time
Transports me along
Pillow soft seams
Swept along
On silent streams
