-for Sonia*

if I could
I would fly away
to be with you
I would like to hear
the sounds of mandolins
once again
by your side
smiling
laughing

but today
I do not smile
because it is days like this
which remind me
of how much I miss you
even when my husband is with me
even when my children are with me
I miss you
I miss you
I am yours
and even in the distance
you are mine

my love...
my family
