Haiku for Jonathan, from his Mom

In the Spirit World
this Spring…
My son,
Sending me fragrances
Of honeysuckle and jasmine.

To Jonathan from Your Mother

Nine months I carried you inside me, until you were born. You came out laughing, I think. What a gift you were to the world, Jonathan.
Today it is nine months since you "went away." Is that why this winter has been so icy and cold? It is missing your bright light and the warmth of your smile.
Spring will come and bring rebirth to so many things. If only you could rise up again, fully- formed and perfect, from the greening grass, with the tulips and the hyacinths...and come in our door, bearing your loving smile and a bouquet of daffodils.
