Ma you were my light in the dark, My inspiration of strength, My true teacher of all things beautiful, You gave me my love of art and literature, Supported me with my dreams even when they failed you encouraged me to continue trying. You were my confidant and the only woman that truly loved me for what and who i am. I don't know how life is going to be without you now. But i will do what i must to stay strong and moved forward and make you proud. Until we meet again, I hope your castle in the sky is surrounded by all the things you loved, When the moon is full and that owl hoots i will know its you.
