To Mom

Droplets find their way down the sculpture of  her face, as "Danny Boy" cries its peace quietly in the distance. Rhyme and harmony form a backdrop to the serenity. At this moment I realize she has loved deeply in her life~ Loved us all for our strengths and for our weaknesses... The thought of losing and the intensity it brings leaves her few choices and she surrenders to the emotion. I watch, from afar, trying to capture this thing that has enveloped me and left me speechless~ In my life, she has taught the art of loving... both the giving  and the taking. Her wisdom  defines me and I know  I am fortunate for the teachings... The song moves into a whisper then finally into silence leaving impressions that are unshakable. Etched in my mind the words echo and the music continues... "O Danny Boy, all my dreams will warm and sweeter be if you will not fail  to tell me  that you love me." (I shall never again be the same.)
