For my mother

I am fond of our conversations on Monday nights when I call you on the way back from work.  Many an enlightened outlook I've been able to enjoy because of your sound advice and subtle diction.  You usher in a sense of composure, of peace, focus and renewed strength.

I tend to doubt, you tend to believe.  My vision becomes blurred and astray, you keep me centered.  I fret, you continue to remain calm.

Regardless of association: I appreciate you as a human being in my life.
