A boy drops to his knees and disposes

Prayers of hope, desire, and goodbyes

On his mother’s grave, and withered roses -

Petals falling; a tear escapes his eyes.

Twas’ two days ago, he won in checkers; 

They picked tulips and sang in the sunset.

Happy moments of his life, but wreckers

Lead to mom’s demise; he feels regret

Dreary thoughts shatter his heart with a twang.

So he swears to enjoy his life in bliss -

No matter the event he will stay strong

For his mom that broke down, he’ll reminisce.

Tis’ a wish, his hope; a promise to love

Himself, family, and fly like a dove
