Title: He was a mother's son

Notes: No spoilers for TG.
Dedicated to the wonderful memory of my Great Granny. happy

********************************************




I will never know your face or touch.
I will never see your sweet smile in the morning.
I will never know that kindness that once warmed my father's now black heart.
I will never know that gentle peace from reflection of memory.

I will never see what you saw in the hard life he lead.
I will never understand how anyone could love a son like him.
But when I seen your words on pages of script I knew.
He was not always the cold hearted monster.
He was a mother's son.
Her life.
Her love.

In that I will always know.
A goodness in a gentle soul.
A love unbinding.
A whisper of expression.
A warmth of a touch.
Will always say what really matters.

He was a mother's son.
Her life.
Her love.

Fabulous poem. First-rate work!! When thinking of Vader, it is often hard to remember that he had a mother who loved him dearly. This poem does a good job of humanizing him.

Believe it or not, but I like the NJO books.
