Live,
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child:
and learn to build all you roads on today because
tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a away of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.
So plant you own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong
and you really have worth;
and you learn and learn....
with every goodbye you learn.
For you Mom with Love,
Art, Brian, Colin & Maureen
