- Dear Mom
- Please tell me
- what would you
like as a gift?
- What can I
present you on Mother’s Day?
- What can I send
you
- across the
ocean?
- Please tell me
- what did you
want all your life
- but could not
afford?
- What were the
things
- you put back on
the shelf quietly
- because I was
crying
- and you bought
me toys instead?
- I suddenly
remembered
- you always loved
flowers
- so I bought the
armful of roses
- from the flower
girl
- without
thinking…
- who will travel
thousands of miles
- to put them on
your grave ?
