""I Think of You""
I think of you when Spring is new,
April and May, the months of two.
I think of you when April begins,
sadness sets in, I remember when.
I think of you the day of April 13th,
the tragedy, my nightmare, emotions intense.
I think of you as May bursts into awesome color,
and the freshness of the wind that blows and hollers.
I think of you the 24th day of May,
your Blessed birth on that wonderful day.
I think of you as Spring turns into summer,
your flip flops, cut off shorts, with all the other.
I think of you climbing the antenna to suntan,
a young girl laying on the roof with lotion in hand.
I think of you all grown up and an amazing adult.
We had become best friends, unbelievably, nothing now was my fault.
I think of you as the corn stalks begin to dry.
Brings your unique foddershock designs to mind and I can't help but cry.
I think of you when leaves are the colors of orange, brown and yellow.
My heart breaks once more, and in self pity I seem to just wallow.
I think of you when Sunflowers, Mums are in bloom with magnificent Pumpkin Patches.
You were entranced with hay bales, scarecrows, jack o lanterns and Halloween witches.
I think of you when Autumn stubbornly gives way to winter,
not your favorite time of year, but your winter crafts sparked with bright glitter,
I think of you: at Christmas time,
the strangeness of the holidays and you no longer mine.
I think of you New Year's Day when another year is through.
Within 3 months, 13 days, I will have lived another year without you.
I think of you year after year until each and every long day is done.
With the gift of sleep comes a gentle peace, but with the dawn my pain has again begun.
I think of you and wonder how long my suffering will continue,
but there is no greater love than that of a mother and forever I will grieve for you.
