Mom! Mom!
I’m home again!
I’m sorry I waited
until you were dead
...

The things that we say to each other
are not so hard to follow.
The way we love each other
sends shivers done my spine.

Scribbles on a page…
scribbles on a page…

Some people will remember
the good things in life,
while others, like me,

King of glory,
LORD of love.
