Wish
you would stop
sleeping
I want
to hear
a story
“She is
not going
to wake up.
We
are
so
sorry!”
They tell me
that
but I don’t
believe them
for
one
second
and
in fact
an angel
rose right up
and looked
at me
smiling
“Hi mom!”
Love is
the
kind
of thing
(some times
anyway)
that is
a
treasure
chest
because
you
don’t
know
quite
what you may find
even as
you
go searching
Love
is all about
secrets
sometimes
too
I have not told a soul
about
mom
They would
just
say
“You are
so
weird!”
Mom
whispered
to me
the other night
“Take your
time
I will be here
waiting
even if
it
seems like
it takes
forever.”
If you read this
don’t
tell
anyone,
please
Yes
my mom is an angel
Yours
may be too
I will keep
it to
myself
if
you
will
