Mother's Day Poem

When we got married we were all smiles,

our friends were all smiles, our families were all smiles.

It was such a lovely Tucson day; warm, clouds, with a hint of chill at night.

When we closed our eyes all I could do is hold you, love you, yearn for you.

That night I did not know what to dream about...I had you.

Over the next few months our lives got back to normal

and still I did not know what to dream about.

I just worried about school and work, I worried about money and bills.

Every night I dreamt about you.

Now that we have graduated from our small apartment

to living with your parents, we live in our castle.

Our reality goes beyond anything I might have dreamt about,

because of you, because of us, because of our family.
