remembering ross
remembering ross by mattie lane (moran)

27 years ago, I gave you birth
me 27 at the time, you going on 70.
Today is 7 years since you left
As you were finishing your 3rd set of 7
Birth Anew for you this was
Now 7 years old,
Somewhere
mother, Sister, Brother
Grandmother share
Pictures, interests, movies
remembering

You
fresh child face - cheeks
aubrn hair auburn eyes sparkle
angel-kiss freckles
mid teen pensive eyes think
reflecting new thoughts dawnings
late teen desires showing, longing
humor intellect wit
laughter

We
eat at your favorite restaurant
Miyake's
make your favorite dessert,
Stellino's Tiramisu Celeste -
watch your favorite comedians,
Fishmasters
memories of another lifetime
a different book from now
having lead to
who I am today
we are today
tears, mine,
driop
I miss you, love you
still
Firstborn of my 3
Opened my

Womb

Heart

Mind

Forever.
