The Journey of Birth

Stopped by sound without words Traveling through time without sight This Journey is within my mind Aloof this body has become I have traveled without and within Tracing through time my memories Once I was not and then I became with doctors above a bright light A snip of a cord and I then I was born I cried then you cuddle me Suckling your breast from within, A flavor beyond compare Placed within a blanket A thumb reaching for my mouth Wondering how long I will live this life Smiling with laughter and glee Tickling became a part of me A swing that swung me to sleep With sights twirling above me My eyes in a trance We will always be as one But separated only by death You gave me a life I cannot repay I will love you each and every day My Mother, Never to be forgotten

As great a tribute to Mom as can be found on these pages, Bobby. A 'real-feel' write. Thanks, Gershon
