The words didn’t come easy this year.
The tears, they always come
At least on the inside
Drowning out that fire
Always burning for you,
At least for the moment.
The flame gets taller; smaller, may flicker
Depending on the day,
The hour
But the fire never burns out
Our love is the air that feeds it,
It can’t die.
You have grown with Matt
Just not here
Well, in both places;
In all spaces
I see you,
When I drive, and look up
And spot…
High atop a tree……
A beautiful and magnificent owl
Twisting its head
Watching me; watching all
With a protective air and boundless wisdom.
I feel you,
When I walk through the door
And that light that’s always out….
Goes on
And a smile lights up my face,
And I say thank you.
I feel you in the warm, gentle breeze
That envelops me at times
And softly whispers,
“I’m here mom, I’m always here.”
When Matt and I talk about you
I get little glimpses of you with him
Throughout the years
Both as handsome as when you were born.
And when I belt out the words to the song,
“Fall on Me,”
You sing it with me, through me
Knowing how deeply I understand the words.
It’s hard to capture the emotion of 21 years.
But the words came
We found a way to say,
Happy Birthday Adam!
We love and miss you!
Always,
Mom and Matt

I like this post, enjoyed this one thank you for putting up. “To the dull mind all nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world sparkles with light
Hi, i think that i saw you visited my website so i came to “return the favor”.I’m trying to find things to improve my website!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!
I do consider all the concepts you have presented on your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for novices. May just you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
I’ll right away clutch your rss as I can not find your email subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Kindly allow me know so that I may just subscribe. Thanks.
Hello and thank you for your comments. I don’t have a newsletter; at least not yet. I decided to go back to school to get my masters in social work, and unfortunately, did not keep up monitoring or adding to my site. I plan on working on it again in the future.
I’m not sure what you mean by the posts being too brief?
Adam might be the inspiration, but the poem has universal appeal, making people remember loved ones. Another really great piece.
Thank you very much Fred! I’m so happy if that’s the case! He has more purpose that way!!
Miss you !!
Beautiful❤️❤️
Thank you!!!
