Last night I saw you in my dream, Mom

You stood still, even though I called,
I screamed, but you did not turn.
I was scared of losing you again;
I cried and cried and cried.

Then your warmth enveloped me,
Like a baby, I drifted off in your lap.
I felt complete when I woke up today;
I missed you and your gentle presence.

Thank you, Mom.
