this is in loving memory of one of my best friend's mom, Eileen Landis.
She will never be too far from our hearts.

This goes out to the one,
The one who gazed to the moon and unleashed her son,
One who finishes life before it has begun,
God bless the one.


For my way has gone astray more than i'd ever say,
But your words each day keep my nightmares at bay,
Wow, I can't even find words to say...


...What you mean to me,
Feel through your eyes pain gained from life falling,
Light calling your name, I still dream of it stalling.
For while the three fists of society careened through my jaw,
The fourth helped me up, and your figure was what I saw.


Immediately a smirk consumed my space,
For this woman's face was just like my face!
As I kept pace, you rhapsodized with grace,
And I couldn't help but smile.


Like the way you perfected it,
Like the heart's beat has perfected it.
Knowing Eileen beams with one dream,
God heeds her wish to see the rest of him.


For this, here, is my very last tear,
My final fear awoke and took from me one dear.
But out from the clear came a voice I could hardly hear,
But I've been listening all this while.


She said, "Don't look so long, for this may be wrong,
But believe it or not life will still go on!"
Mom, just sing me that song, and you know i'd sing along,
As our voice echoes for miles.


And though your so far across these tides, you still stand by my side,
Smiling, all the while you've been along for the ride.
Soft feat floating in air, can't fly? Don't care, soaring,
To the bright light shedding love onto the fight,
Your home.
