No, heaven&#039;s not a place that you go when you die<br /> It&#039;s that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive<br /> So live for the moment<br /> And take this advice, live by every word<br /> Love&#039;s completely real, so forget anything that you&#039;ve heard<br /> And live for the moment now

I sit on her lap
and pretend I’m a
child once more

Her worn brown soil skin
feels soft
and comforting

The leaves and branches
shiver as she hums
to me lullabies

A round wet tear
plops on my
flushed cheek

We are then silent together




content together




alive together

She is my only mother
I could stay with her forever
My hand on the ground
