I HOPE

I hope that soon, dear mother we might be re-united once again. Standing in your front room surrounded with family and friends.

The kitchen table laid out with food and drinks, as four generations of relatives gathered this day.

For once in a long time all your Sons are home, you thank God for this moment, as you sat in your cushioned easy chair all alone.

The couch beside the window, where the sun shines warm and bright, and there in ease and quiet was the promised book of light. As I sit close beside you content at last to see that you are the best, dear mother Happy 90th Birthday and we all cherish thee.
