last mountain
A baby's first cry,
Accompanied by a mother's final breath.
Born by sacrifice,
A toll of the highest price.
A baby's first tooth,
Accompanied by a father's tearful sorrow.
A commitment bound by blood;
Forged in the fires of loss,
Enforced by a funeral beneath a cross.
A baby's first step,
Accompanied by a father's melancholic smile.
Watched from the stars;
A whisper of wind caresses the two,
For the fates had been paid their due.
A baby's first word,
Accompanied by a nannies tune.
A memory of mama,
Formed from within the womb.
A rustle of petals as the flowers bloom.
A baby's wondrous eyes,
Accompanied by a mother's image.
Mirrors hold passing memories;
Glimpses of something beyond the living,
Never unwelcome nor misgiving.
A child's first soccer game,
Accompanied by a father's cheers.
Grief slowly becoming bearable;
Acceptance that time cannot be undone,
For it formed a darling son.
A child's first crush,
Accompanied by a father's advice.
Words passed from each generation;
Roses are red and valentine's are written,
Both boy and man slowly become smitten.
A teens first date,
Accompanied by a woman's touch.
A single cloud hangs in the sky;
A rainbow accompanies the final goodbye,
For proposals of love are nigh.
