Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Although you left me
One tragic night
Forever my beloved mother
Leaving me heartbroken with a deep pain
From which I hope time
Doesn't heal and I never recover
I'll always look to the faraway stars
Looking for a sign
Like a shooting star
To bring hope to me
And so many others that may still suffer
For losing a mother is like looking at life
Without the colour
Especially in Summer
My memories of you
Will always come before all others
For you were with me in the very beginning
And I was with you at the very end
And as I held your lukewarm hand
And you gave out your last breath
In that single moment
I knew you had been reincarnated
When that beautiful blue and yellow butterfly
Landed on our clasped hands
And its wings gently fluttered
My message to you
Dearest reader
Treasure your mother if she's a good soul
For the impact of losing her will last forever
If the Tall Cancer Man decides
It's time to call and collect her
