Original Poetry from Adan Lerma
A Gift for RememberingTM
Artist's Comment: like the related poem recommended below, this poem allows me to search for images that come to mind as i think about my mom, and allow the feelings within surface
the main difference is this one speaks to what my mom "is" like, while "if mom's were" allows to what a mom "would be like" if they were such and such, also allowing for feelings and images to surface as i focus on the subject, in this case, my mom :-)
i like both methods of conjuring images and feelings, and have used it for many subjects, including other family and even pets; i find it really helps bring out nuances specific to my own experiences, and found that expressed as they do, connect to how many other people do as well - at that point, the poem also becomes a sharing between myself and the person choosing it as a gift for someone they care for, adding another layer of meaning to my own efforts

the thought itself" - adan
Special notes:
The text presented in the photo example below is how we print, a more cursive pretty font that won't reprint well here.
Also, we adjust the font size of the title, copyright, personalization, to fit both the writing itself, and the constraints of the mat opening (window) of the 8x10's we use.
