Dear Mom

I love you
for you're
the reason
I've a place
in this race.
The reason I
feel life breathe,
love, laugh
and yes,
even grieve.
But, dear mom,
please don't
lecture me
on how to be
a son
because, you see,
you've never
been one
let alone
an only son!

                    With love. Sincerely,
                            Your son.  ('68)
