THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO 
BRAM STERLING DAVIS
IN LOVING MEMORY
 

My life was one of silence, but now
that is no more.
Somehow we traded places, Mom
when I entered Heaven's door.

I hear your teardrops falling,
In the middle of the night,
I put my arms around you, and
Hold you oh so tight.

I hear your soft voice calling,
I answer, "Mom, I'm here.
I am standing right beside you
Always, and forever near.

I hear the anguish of your heart,
I try to comfort you.
I wish with all my soul, that I
Could share today with you.

I hear your endless questions,
Especially the "Why's", and I
Wish that I could tell you
Instead, I hear your cry. 

I learned to hear in your world,
Now learn to hear in mine.
Look up at the stars and listen,
I talk with you all the time.

Each flower you see bloom,
The soft breeze upon your cheek,
Look up at the sky and listen
For this is how I speak.

I'll tell you every day, in one
way or another,
How very much I love and miss you
My dear and precious Mother.

Now I hear the angels sing,
I rejoice everyday.
Now let me hear your laughter
So I can be on my way.

Love Your Son,
Bram
