SHE STILL IS MOM TO ME
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Our DNA is not the same
though we share the same last name
it doesn’t matter much to me
about our genealogy

come join me on the flight

Once many years ago a girl and a boy
in the pottery room with some clay
had a play fight, threw some and laughed
fell in love with each other that day
Grew into soulmates, kindred spirits to last
got married in the summer and then
saw many years together as one
and best and inseparable friends
So here in the year of the water rabbit
and forty-five valentines later
the boy to the girl in their sixty-fourth year
knows their love is now only the greater

Forty-three years ago
nineteen seventy-nine
two soulmates in love
their lives they combined
and we've never looked back
from that lovely day
as our love has grown deeper
it's quite true to say
Two kindred spirits
we soulmates as one
raise a glass here today
for more years of fun

Forty-three valentines I have now sent
to my one true love every year
Our love it grows stronger
and may it live longer
I trust as I hold her so dear
And we have been wed forty-two of those years
Soulmates, we two are entwined
So here now from me
here is forty-three
Will you please be my Valentine?

I’m not sure why
I keep on changing
like I do
I don’t know
if it’s good or bad
I really wish I knew.
I fear with all these changes
taking place inside of me,
others will only notice
the outer side they see.
I wish I understood
what was meant to be,
what’s the point in changing
if you don’t change with me.

Take my hand, my love,
we can grow together.
I will grow
and you will grow,
by my side
FOREVER.

The suit I’d purchased for twenty-five quid
all I could afford at the time
just after my twentieth birthday
my life waiting there on the line
The tie was one of my fathers’
as were the shoes on my feet
His passing was five years too early
to see his son’s wedding complete
Now forty-one years have surrendered
themselves to the life we have led
since that day way back in seventy-nine
when Sally and Jeremy wed

I’m picking scabs
pieces,
leftovers,
little-little tiny pieces
stuck here and there
slipped and
stuck between the cracks
trying hard to get to them
using my bony fingers, knuckles and
what not,

I Often Wonder
Wistfully,
Why It Had To Be
The Way It Was
A Chance Meeting
A Sudden Attraction
And Passions
That Set Off
