My Dearest Son Vann

When I woke up this morning, I heard you calling out to me. I realized I was dreaming and that you couldn't be free. I recall the day you where took from me, just before you drove away. I could still hear you saying, Momma I will always love you. As the Angel's dried my eyes, I could see where the love lies. A month or so has come and gone since you left me here, to face this world alone. I never dreamed it would happen this way, with you took away and put behind a wall of stone. Look to the heavens with the sky so clear and blue, and always know Momma loves you.
