the stars in the winter night sky
cast shadows
across the rose garden
trembling unseen
beneath their thorny stems
waiting for the warmth of sun
to bring forth budding faces
reminding me of you

My mom went now, six years ago on January the 17th, to be with all those she loved and who went before. I certainly believe she is one of the angels now and watches over all who remain. I will never forget you mom. The red rose was her favorite.


A lovely and loving rememberance of your mom, Renee. Well done.

Sometimes it seems we haven’t enough such words for those we love, in life, but I hope always to make up for their loss. Thank You Ian!
