In years gone by
when my sons were young
we’d tell each other
I love you infinity plus one
I remember when they were teens
I’d come home from work to find
Notes with doodles, places, times
saying where they’d be
Now that they’re men out on their own
In another city, they text and they phone
I cherish the time we had when they were young
When they said, “Mom, I love you infinity plus one.”
