Hi, mommy.
Do you remember me?

I'm sure you do. You've not been gone long.
And you said you'd follow me anywhere I went.

I lost the locket you gave me.
I think an old friend who 'can't find my stuff' has it.
It makes me upset that I lost it.
I'm sorry, mommy.

Do you remember that locket?
It took us so long to pick it out.
And you gave me a thick chain,
because you know I like to play with my necklaces.

You put your little saying on the back.
'See the beauty.'
I still remember that, mommy.

"Find something beautiful in nature every day,
And think of me,"
You told me.
I remember it. I do, mommy.

I miss you, mommy.
Life's not the same without you-
Which, is to be expected,
But our house has changed a lot.

It's brown now, mommy,
Instead of yellow.
I don't like it.
It doesn't look right.

It doesn't look like home anymore.

Do you remember the color yellow, mommy?
It was your favorite.
Like daffodils,
Or some roses.

I miss those, mommy.
Every time I see a daffodil I get sad now.

Do you remember, mommy?
