Mom .....

Here are all your children in one place

Enshrined behind some glass within a frame

A picture's like a word, a sign, a name

Symbolic of a much more complex grace

Years of memories lie behind each face

A wild sea no blessing can contain

Years and years of love, of joy, of pain

Of mysteries no heart can hope to trace

Here are all the objects of your love

A frozen section cut away from Time

A summit between dreams and memories

Which you need only look this way to climb

An icon for domestic reveries

Through which a thousand answered prayers move
