Crying

Mother,

Why is it so hard to see the end of the story and turn the page

Knowing it’s done?

You’re everything

And I knew it all along in my heart.

Tears are apart of me, apart of you,

Apart of us,

You stitched my tears and your tears together

With heart beats of a mommy’s love,

Oh mommy, don’t go,

I love you, you know.

My heart feels cracked open and exposed

Can we rewrite the book and add more chapters,

Please?

I’m your son,

And we are irrevocably bonded as mother and child,

Stitched like God’s green and blue

And we are our big blue,

Crying is our way to keep human

And to show our heavenly hue.

Mom, you’re here, living in my heart forever.

I love you.
