I want you
to know
your dear mother
is still with you
wherever you go.
It's been 10 long years
since they took her
away
and often
without their mothers
little boys will pay.
She is lost,
in a strange place,
from you and me.
Although when I look
in your eyes
I honestly see
that her love
will someday
make you a man.
She will be watching over her son
doing the best
he can.
You were too young
to remember
her lovely glow
but as you've grown up
it's starting
to show.
It wasn't her fault
that she was unable
to find
the peace
we all seek
in our mind.
Please take her legacy,
son,
into the life you shall live
because it's the most precious gift
one can ever
give.
