When we meet again, you talk first
In Memory of my Mother I don’t have a memory of

I have precious few photos of you, i wish most of them were in color
But i can’t be bitter anymore, those pictures prove I had a mother
I hope you are proud of me, and the life I have been building
I am not too sure I need pictures now, i feel You through my children
Your granddaughter has a heart of gold, and such a beautiful smile
I wish someone, anyone would say it’s yours, but it’s been a while
Your youngest grandson cares so much, he hugs a beautiful embrace
Was your embrace as warm as his? I think yes, judging by tears on face
Your oldest grandson is the smart one, he wants to step on Mars
Were you as fascinated as he is by space? the moon, and all the stars?
Did you like Coke or Pepsi? What was your favorite thing to eat?
Did you drink coffee? Did you like black or light and sweet?
I have asked you thousands questions by now, from mundane to profound
Silence is what I get, but I ask as wanting to feel your advice, not sound
Death seems so random, as if someone picked out of a hat a number
And that number sends you the other world, awake from Earths slumber
When its my time to go,God tells me not to be alarmed,
That you will be there, waiting for me, radiant with open arms
