my mommy
by Michele Schottelkorbi look into a light reflection
dipping my toes into a pool of water
the image staring back at me
is my life force ~ my standing grace
my mother
same nose, same heart
peace has come to my soul
from this brief interlude
a simple smile, a genuine embrace
and the words: i love you
i shall remember you, mommy
every time i look at my daughter 11/06/2003 Author's Note: my mom, who has been staying with me since july, leaves this saturday for new york... i will miss my mommy...
