BETWEEN A SUN AND HER SON

BECAUSE YOU MAKE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR ME

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE THERE

FOR THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE PROVIDED

FROM THE PRIDE YOU HAVE SHOWN ME

FOR THE FAMILY YOU HAVE GIVEN ME

FROM THE LOVE YOU SHOWER UPON ME

FROM THE ATTITUDE YOU POSSESS

BECAUSE YOU CAN LAUGH AT YOURSELF EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE DOES

FROM THE JOY OF LISTENING TO YOU SING TO YOURSELF

FROM ALL THE TIMES YOU ARGUED WITH DAD

BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS ARE...

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME SO

BECAUSE YOU MADE ME BELIEVE IT

BECAUSE MY ART HAS MEANING TO YOU

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS THINKING OF ME

BECAUSE I CAN ALWAYS CAPTURE YOUR ATTENTION

BECAUSE MY ACTIONS AFFECT YOU LIKE NO ONE ELSE

BECAUSE YOU GIVE ME MORE THAN ANY ONE PERSON DESERVES

BECAUSE I AM YOU

EVEN AS YOU ARE COURAGEOUS

AT THE THOUGHT OF A WORLD WITHOUT YOU

THAT TURN A MOMENT SOMBER

THAT ONE OF US IS SEPARATED FROM THIS EARTH

IN A WORLD THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE YOU

THAT MY LOVE IS LESS BECAUSE MY DISTANCE IS FAR

IF YOUR LOVE WILL BE ANY LESS WHEN OUR DISTANCE IS EVEN GREATER

PLEASE PROMISE TO NEVER STOP LOOKING

AND LAUGHING, WATCHING, WORRYING, YELLING, AND SINGING

AS HARD AS YOU CAN.

THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TOMORROW FOR US SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW

AS I TYPED THOSE LAST FEW WORDS ON A GRAY AND CLOUDY DAY

CAME PEERING OUT AND SENT A LIGHT SO BRIGHT THROUGH MY WINDOWS AND THEN DISAPPEARED AGAIN

BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MEANT I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL DARK

WHERE TO FIND YOU AT ANY TIME. YOU AREN'T A FAR AWAY STAR...

AND I ....

FOR I AM YOUR SON TOO.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY - MAY WE HAVE MANY MANY MORE ON THIS EARTH.

THE PHOTOS OF THE SUN THRU MY WINDOW WERE NOT ALTERED. :)
