Winner of Mother's Day 2008 Contest - "AMOR PLATONICUS" ...by Ryan Marschang




“The best thing about my mother is…”




AMOR PLATONICUS




In the cradle, your eyes warmed my heart from above,
I developed within a stream of platonic love.

Now, a precocious child indeed,
No longer just a mere seed,

Your soothing affection,
Your grace.

Your objection and,
Your kind face.

“Ad astra per aspera,” you once said, “Yes, mother”,
And then you led.

Tis your:
Unforgettable, undeniable, pure, imperishable,
Amor Platonicus.
