"Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me? Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body? Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner. Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together. Mother remember the night that the dog got her pups in the pantry? Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws, and you cried 'til the morning. So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten. Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain." -Iron & Wine
