    A shared toast with my mom

    In the mist of my time, I wait for no comforting answers.
    The calmness of your everyday provides warmth and wisdom,
    yet the clarity of life is shadowed by your pain.

    In this long walk towards forever, I feel the warm blood of death running through my heart.

    I've listened to the melody of memories, and everyday I long forthe winds to bring comfort.

    In every moment of my life, I have loved you, and daily I've witnessed your passion for life.

    Today, I felt with your gripping hug more love than ever before, yet the burning fear of the beyond was hiding within your eyes.

    Dear mama, I fight the tears to allow you comfort, and I will forever strive
    to be the man you worked so hard to raise.

    It is not without pain that I kneel before you, and watch your external
    presence fade into the dreams of peace.
    But still I rise in hopes that your dance with life will last another day.

    I do understand, that one day I will wake and you may not,
    And on that day, a part of me will be delivered with you.

    I will never let go, as your walk through the unknown will be guided with my love.

    Rest my beloved mother,
    And know my lasting love for you will shine bright within my heart.

    I share this toast with you today and forever, as nothing can break the bonds of a mother's love...


    In loving thoughts for my mom.
