I used to write you messages in the sand, Mother. <br />I knew they'd be erased <br />with the night's rising waters, <br />but I always took comfort <br />in knowing that you could see them <br />from up in Heaven. <br />I'd spent many evenings <br />on that sandy beach <br />writing 'I love you's' <br />and watching the tide rise <br />only to wash them away. <br />And I'd wish for a twinkling star <br />or jumping dolphin to show me <br />that you truly did receive my mail. <br /> <br />As days pass by <br />and my feet no longer feel sand, <br />I only wish to be in Heaven with you, Mother. <br />We can write our messages in the stars.<br /><br />Amanda Lukas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/14-writing-my-messages-in-the-sand/
