For Mom

by Byron

 

Your voice is like the soothing

sound of a horse on a cobblestone road.

Like a bird flapping its wings,

like a calming prairie whistling,

a tune as soft as a baby's laugh.  

Like a Mickey Mouse sing-along

like the fire crackling from the heat.

Like the splish splash of the rain.

I will tell you your voice is like the light

of a firefly, like the crunch

of the snow under my boots,

like the click clack of a woodpecker

pecking a tree, like the sound of water

pouring from a facet.
