I forgot

In all my innocence I forgot to
mention that life sometimes can
be tough and that it takes more
than the seeds that I planted
with love and hope, to truly
guide you through life's journey.

In all the happiness that surrounded
our love I forgot to tell you that when
I am gone you must be as strong as you
were when I was with you, that our love
can still find its way in the dark and
like the certainty of the sun rising
each new day, always there inside of you.

In all the rush of death that closed my
eyes, I had opened yours, but my role
of mother was so far from over, and
although I forgot to mention that you
should wear a smile everyday, somehow
you remember.

Though you were far from me
In the land of Sleep and Silence,
Still the voice of love would reach you.
