To the Moon and Back
To the Moon and Back
My dearest mother, we have been
Through seasons of sorrow,
The storms we've weathered, and the lessons learned,
Held captive by the long shadows of yesterday's pain.
By you and I, together, have found a way,
A fragile path towards a new day.
We talk about the things that hurt, the words we struggle to find,
No subject is too heavy, no truth is left behind.
And when my world was shaken, a whispered, fearful plea,
You held my hand through every step, you fought the fight with me.
Through scans and whispered diagnoses, through the sterile air,
You were my rock, my silent strength, a love beyond compare.
We settle down with the flicker of a screen,
The comfort of a Hallmark movie scene.
The world of make-believe, where problems always fade,
A simple love story, a happy ending made.
You humor my sharks, a world of fins and teeth,
My fascination with them, a curious relief.
You tell my you me to the moon and back,
A gentle promise, a love that never fades.
You indulge my books, a tower of stories unbound,
Enabling my escape, my magical haven.
You see me surrounded by bears, a fuzzy collection,
And you still love me.
The journey has been hard, with so much to face,
But you love has been my saving grace.
We are learning, we are healing, we are trying, you and I,
And in your arms, I find a home where I can finally cry.
