Above thousands of dandelions in the field,
Taller than the proud mountains that stand,
Conveying melodies sweeter than the songbird,
Holding every single piece of the world together,
What is it that truly stands out,my child?
What is it that lures my heart away?
Lost in every beauty of the world,
Unnoticed by every eye of the beholder,
The one thing that matters the most,my love,
The one thing that shines even when it isn't day,
Forgotten even by the most observant,my dear,
Who is it that I long to mention?
Who is it that puzzles my heart so,
But is worth bearing every trouble to go?
Who is it looking times more beguiling,
Than the beauty of the rivers and trees so?
What is it,that breaks my heart,
Even though it's alluring so?
Of course,the world doesn't see it,
But I do,for every detail,
is mapped in my head for the few days I live,
Is etched in my mind to make a sketch for you,
Of the oldest of the memories of mine to gift you,
Until I lose it all,
As long as you don't have to feel it all.
I know you will grow up,my dear,
But you will never move on from here,
For when you look up at the sky and remember me,my child,
The sky is the one thing only you will notice,
To see my free soul roam the cosmos,
Happy and unforgettable,
All my love drawn for you,
In a magnificent rainbow when it rains,
Or in the moon and stars of the night sky,
Or in the sun and warmth of the day,
For whatever time may it be,
I am always there for you,
Hidden in the melodies of the sky.
A/N This poem shows a mother having Alzheimer's speaking to her little boy explaining to him that,in all the beauties of the world,the sky isn't given that much value for it is always there where it is.But in reality,the sky is the most important thing to be seen.It changes the view of the whole scenery depending on whether it is day or night.In the same way,the mother wants to tell her son that when she is not in this world anymore,when he feels sad,he must look up at the sky,for he is like the beauty below and she is like the sky above,showing him the right path no matter how wrong he goes,and when he looks up,she will always be there,smiling at him,waiting to help him up when he staggers and falls.
