Mother's Day Visit

I look down at her headstone,
the stone
red as the rose of love
engraved on the left side.

This is my first Mother's Day
without her,
without my inspiration,
without my encouragement,
without my mother.

I open my prayer book
and read a prayer for the departed
as I look down
at her last earthly resting place.
