Do you know where your mother is?
Surely not far away
listening there where only angels dare
following every word you say

Having moved on from one adventure to another,
there she goes, your beautiful mother
painting horizons with the most breath-taking colors
with a uniqueness and flare
 that could only be your mother’s

Say, do you know where your mother is?
Now, don’t you be fooled wherever you go
and you’re thinking you’re there by yourself
if you feel a warm presence
it is with her divine essence
that she lovingly offers to help

Just your imagination?
With that thought don’t bother
for you may hear a whisper
and I concur–
no doubt you’ve just found your mother

Dedicated to David and his beautiful mother
