I See

Written June 2nd, 2001

I See
I see a woman.
I see a pillar of strength.
I see courage in the face of adversity.
I see beauty and goodness.
I see a reason to live; to be something great.
I see pain. I see healing.
I see sorrow. I see joy.
I see a burdened heart. I see light-heartedness.
I see tears. I see smiles.
I see concern. I see jokes.
I see external frailty. I see internal strength.
I see Hell. I see Heaven.
I see bad. I see good.
I see hate. I see love.
I see holding a grudge. I see forgiveness. 
I see no middle ground. I see compromise.
I see down-trodden. I see uplifted.
I see turmoil. I see peace.
     I see so may things, that's true.
     I see my Mother.
     I see her no more.

Miss and Love You Mother....
