A New Poem for Mother's Day

I found you, I have you, and I love you;

no longer to wonder and grieve on this day,

this time, we will hold hands and smile

and laugh, grateful that the awful spell

has been broken.

I will say, " I love you." and this day,

you will hear me, I will embrace you,

and this time, you will feel me

and not your pillow...

because I found you, a whole new world

for you and me, together finally

with my mother; the world 

holds magic still, that magic

brings me to you,

here comes the magic again...

and in these in-between moments, 

I will hold my breath, anxiously 

waiting for the next time with you, 

for if we are together every minute

until the day we die, it would still 

not make up for the time they stole from us...

but you knew I was coming, and I knew 

I wasn't going to be denied, for I am 

a hero, our hero, the hero of our epic 

story which begins and ends with love:

our love, and that is our magic. 

I love you. Happy Mother's Day.
