As Flowers Crumble Collaboration With Silent One

Lullabies through tear filled eyes It's truly, love at first sight The bond is forged and galvanized To hold forever tight Each time you needed a hand She always had one free From then on, when in demand As soft as she needed to be No sacrifice was too great A patient answer to every, "why?" That look when you came home late When you didn't come home, she'd cry As flowers begin to crumble your eyes look tired and hands so frail Breaks my heart to see you stumble as tears fall with your skin so pale No one can ever take your place nor replace your angelic love Your life is full of prestige grace precious beauty like a white dove Mum's sweet words flow like a fountain such wisdom will always live on Her love conquers the highest mountain fills me with pride to be her son July 4 2017 Collaboration By Daniel Turner and Silent One

Gorgeous collab poem, Daniel and SO. Seamless blend of two voices speaking w/one love. I can relate because this struck an emotional chord in me. My mother dies four years ago, still seems like yesterday sometimes. Beautiful poem, gentlemen. Love always.
