For My Mother

July 29, 2013

Your skin so soft. Your love so hard.

I am forever a student of your teachings.

and until your last breath

I will love you.

and forever after.

Words could never do your beauty justice.

You are my legend. and I

dread the day that I have to

look at a photograph

to remember your face.
