I have been hearing the geese fly and call out lately.
Two geese perched outside my window this morning call me to you on what would have been your 25th Bday G Boo Boo : )
Geese Fly over Spring Snow
The hills around the bay are powder coated.
Geese call out as the fly above in the form of an arrowhead
giving direction to my thoughts…
I am reminded of you “Goose”,
the Spring snow storm at your birth,
your tuft of near white hair lighter than the rest,
your sixteenth birthday
not knowing it would be your last.
I would have loved to know you more,
longer, all these years
who you could have been.
I had always hoped
we would get more time together
when you were older.
I never thought you wouldn’t get older.
I never thought I would be around
after you
leaving me another motivation
to become a better person.
You inspired me to change my life
to get the help I needed
to make the changes I needed
to live and learn and love
leaving me
to wonder
not so much what could have been,
but what still can be.
Thank you, son.
You have always been a blessing!
Happy 25th Bday “G Boo Boo”
