MAE NOAFโS
MIDNIGHT BIRTHDAY CALL
When you were a child
You often asked
pleading, with me day by day
To weigh my love
and force my hand
Youโd say:
โIf you must choose
between us clear and plain
Your mother or your daughter
โwho will you choose, do explain?โ
In a tease
Iโd take my motherโs side
ูููู
ูู ูุฑูุญ ูุฃูู
ู..!!
While you turned red
and pushed your grief aside
Never to accept a second place
with all your bright unyielding, gentle graceโฆ
Nowโฆ three short weeks
have so quickly passed
since she was called away..
She left us and has gone
in such a quiet, altered wayโฆ
I hold so close the memory
of those hours we walk together
through this heavy grief
where tears fall fast and offer no reliefโฆ
You share my sorrow
bone, heart, and breath
as we both navigate this ungentle deathโฆ
Two kindred souls
who loved her with such pride
we sit weeping side by sideโฆ
Yet my darling.. rest assured
there is no choice left for my heart to make
No rival love to test .. No scales to breakโฆ!!!
On this first birthday
underneath the gray
When everything
has shifted and gave wayโฆ
Through the shadows
let your heart be bright
and let your spirit
find its joy and light
For itโs your birthday..
May your days be blessed
with happiness and peace of mind and restโฆ
Trust me
To your father and I
You are our anchor
Our life and breath
The steady warmth
that pulls us back from deathโฆ
You are the rhythm
running through our veins
Our joy that lingers
when the shadow wanesโฆ
You are our home, our mirror
and our truest friendโฆ
Upon whose love
our very souls can bendโฆ
While my soul mate .. my mother
has gone into the silent nightโฆ
With thanksโฆ you remain
my everlasting lightโฆ
Of all the world
when every choice is flown
you are the only one I call my ownโฆ
How deeply blessed
I am to hold you near
A precious gift that grows
more sacred every yearโฆ
Through every joy we share
through every loss we faceโฆ
I thank the heavens
for your kind soul, strength, and graceโฆ
Stillโฆ by her habit,
faithful, fond, and trueโฆ
She watches from above
surrounding youโฆ
And in your heart
youโll feel her near and new
As midnight strikes
to be the one to wish:
โHappy birthdayโ FIRST
