Mom's September Birthday

On this September morn
I think of you,
Fall turning nature
Into a golden hue,
Reminding me of
The color of your hair,
Your gray-green eyes,
A vision so fair,
You're gone for many years
But I still deeply care,
Mother and son,
We were a loving pair,
You gave me life,
You gave me love,
Always gave me
More than enough,
In my heart and soul
You'll always be
Till that final darkness
Touches me...
