Mother We are connected, in ways that can not... easily be explained. They must be felt, and lived through. Your soft voice was the first, I heard as I lay inside. It was held in the magic... of your heartbeat. A "music" I found peaceful, and safe. When I could not see your face, nor you mine... We still recognized each other. That has not lessened, by birth or years. It has grown. When I am in trouble, I remember all that you have taught. When I am in need, I know that you have led me well, and I will be okay. ABC's and 123's, skinned knees and apple trees. Now... I give you back, a token of my gift. The one... that you... never stopped giving, to me. I love you... mom. Ann Foster BooksbyAFoster.com God bless your day!
