Joy

From the very start,
From our very first breath,
The warmth of the sun,
Seemed to seep into the chest.
The beginnings of life
She held in her body
And in this moment
She felt truly happy.
As she cradle us close,
Watching our first unsteady steps,
As she listened to our babbles
Become more than just laughs.
Through our rights and our wrongs,
She held us with love
In her arms like the wings
Of an angel from above.
She started to wonder
As the years began to pass,
When did her once tiny joy
Become a full grown man?
The warmth in her chest
Was repaid with cold eyes,
In a cold empty room
As time kept flying by.
Soon she grew old and
As she held onto stray beans of light,
Her sun came back
Her joy, her pride.
In those last fleeting moments
We begged her to stay
Just like she did
When we flew away.
She watched us cry,
She gave us a kiss,
And right before she died
She whispered us this,
From the very start,
From your very first breath,
The warmth of the sun
Seened to seep into my chest.
"You, my son,
Are what gives me my joy
So my child don't cry,
For every day you gave me more."
Then as she passed,
With her baby by her side,
She wiped away our tears
And with a smile said..
"Goodbye.."
