Alarm goes off

You slept off like a baby

You abruptly woke up and realize you are going to be late

Sprang out of bed, rushing

"Mom I'm going to be late, why didn't you wake me up"

"Lydia, dont forget the lunchbox" 

You hear, a small voice, standing in the kitchen, smiling

Bye mom and a kiss on her cheeks

Love...

Fresh morning, sun shades in your eyes 

You are in your wedding gown

Tilting your head, shy smile

Lovely bouquet in your hand

Saying I do, a conviction in your voice

Commitment...

You're all dressed up, strapped with a bag

Trying to balance, a box of tulles, headbands

All that hideous monster did,

Washed in the ocean, 

You know you have to be stronger

For him, you keep reminding yourself

Restore...

"You have to manuare your car

Mom, it's okay, you got this"

A string of echoes, a bold voice

Reassuring me, I smiled back

To a lil' man who makes me worth living

I'm missing him already

Trust...

Today is not like any other day

Secondary Arts teacher, 

Teaching how to make tutus, 

You think it doesn't get well then this

Confidence...

Night comes,

You know your body aches,

You take your bath, 

How inviting, the bed is

You remembered, Graduation 

The one soul who need you the most

You know the smile 

Mother
