My Son John...

Today is a day that

touches my heart

I remember a birth

as you came to me

Although you are gone

from your Mother’s touch

your spirit is always near for

My Son, I do know your heart

I still shed my saddened tears

because you're not here in body

but, these are my own private

moments of grief for a Mother
never accepts in her heart

any reason why her child

has left her side…

I love you, Johnny

Happy Birthday from Mom

Dedicated to my Son
