Notes About The Poem

Touch the moon while reaching for the stars my love

- Gift For Mom -

When time stops,
      and the world is resting a little bit
      Where the veil of beauty
      and love is revealed by moonlight

            - I don't want to give you red roses
            - or blue violets
            - even the finest diamond is not enough

       ... a mother understands what a child does not say
