To my mother

I remember ice skating
you loved it
you weren't the best
but you loved it
and i loved it too
because you loved it
and of course it was fun

i remember drinking chocolate milk
that was fun
it tasted so good
i always put in too much powder
but it was still good
because you were there
it was the best

i remember your box
the big one with flowers on it
they were yellow
your favourite
not mine
you were there
but not where i could see you
not anymore
