The joy in my heart
Threatens to overwhelm me
Being held in your sweet hug
Once more.
I didn't know when we'd meet again
It's been so long since we've been apart
The years have passed
We have grown older
But the memories of days ago
Have not faded from our hearts
I've missed you so
And waited so long
To see your dear face again.
I add this picture in my mind
To the collection in my soul.

To my mother, she knows what I mean.
