Your Mom
And I
Plus You
Made three
We knew
With you
Our life
Was sweet
Then love
Brought more
And more
Brought life
Three became
Four
And four
Became five
We laughed
Surprised
What luck
What joy
Our life
Was whole
Part you
Part boys
But, then
The cloud
The ice
The wreck
A piece
Is gone
Our hearts
Bereft
And our sweet addition
Is lost in subtraction
With your great promotion
Life’s left us a fraction
