Your voice rumbles
A low, soothing tone,
Something my soul
Has very well known.
I look at you
And see
Who once held my mom
And watched her hold me.
But as you walk,
Your age is shown;
You think I didn't hear
The disgruntled moan.
I want to offer help,
But you know how life goes-
Sometimes the world's below,
Other times the wind blows.
One last wind,
Breath's taken away;
You go to a paradise
While I'm left to stay.
I often close my eyes,
Just to see,
The one who hugged my mom
And then held me.
