A wave of sobs, tears never-ending, A mother’s comfort, love unrelenting. “You’ll see her again, or someone new, Life isn’t fair, but you’ll make it through.”
Petulant thoughts, unspoken and sour, A mother’s wisdom, a healing power. “Time heals all wounds, believe it’s true, You’ll find love again, it’ll come to you.”
A small smile, a glimmer of hope, A mother’s love, a way to cope. “Thanks, Mom,” he said with a sigh, “I love you too,” she replied with a smile.
A shower to wash away the pain, A lasagna to nourish and sustain. Life goes on, with its ups and downs, But a mother’s love will always be around.
Alex Diaz-Granados (1963- ) began writing movie reviews as a staff writer and Entertainment Editor for his high school newspaper in the early 1980s and was the Diversions editor for Miami-Dade Community College, South Campus' student newspaper for one semester. Using his experiences in those publications, Alex has been raving and ranting about the movies online since 2003 at various web sites, including Amazon, Ciao and Epinions.
In addition to writing reviews, Alex has written or co-written three films ("A Simple Ad," "Clown 345," and "Ronnie and the Pursuit of the Elusive Bliss") for actor-director Juan Carlos Hernandez. You can find his reviews and essays on his blogs, A Certain Point of View and A Certain Point of View, Too.
