Which day brings unique
Unexpectedness,
Momentous at the outset.
The day that adds a dimension.
With expectations
That fall short, meet or excede
Yesterday's forethoughts.
Start with mother's gift.
The warmth and excitement
Of home after the first day.
A birth, a funeral,
Excites different
Sounding bands.
Today was such a one.
A Good-bye Day.
Until her return
My days are numbered
Until
That Momentous Day.

My youngest, gone for a year.
