"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"
by Joanne Boyle

I went by our old house today,

to see if you were there.

I opened up the door,

but couldn't find you anywhere.

I called out your name.

"Mum, I am here."

But you never answered

yet I felt your presence near.

It was then that I remembered,

you don't live there any more.

You had moved to heaven.

You no longer had a door.

Before I was awakened,

from the noise of my own scream,

some butterflies appeared,

and walked me to a dream.

I stood in heavens garden,

and when I called your name,

through a field of flowers,

you and an angel came.

You couldn't see me there,

but my god could I see you.

I reached to pick a flower,

in fact I picked a few.

I threw them in your path.

You stopped and turned around.

For a second our world's merged,

we spoke without a sound.

You knew that I was watching,

and I knew that you were too.

And when you picked those flowers up,

I whispered "Happy Mothers Day" to you.
