Through misty panes, memories unfurl,
A mother’s love, a precious pearl.
Tears and longing, his heart finds way,
Forever bound, even in her gentle sway.

The Prologue
Young Eric stood in a world tinged with loss, captivated by the window’s melancholic allure, learning to be entranced by the bittersweet symphony of memories.
Each passing moment held a tender reminder of his mother’s absence, igniting a longing that echoed through his soul, teaching him to be resilient in the face of longing.
The Tale
Eric, a fragile soul burdened by a motherless existence, found himself transfixed by the windowpane. For three long hours, his gaze remained fixed on the world beyond, aching with a mix of longing, loss, and a yearning for connection.
The window, a portal to an outside world that seemed both distant and inviting, held memories of his mother’s tender presence. It was through that window that she would gently brush away his tears, soothing his troubled heart with words like a balm for his soul. But now, it stood as a barrier between him and the love he held dear.
In the depths of his teary-eyed solitude, Eric’s imagination began to paint vivid landscapes of memories. The laughter that once echoed through their humble home, the warmth of her embrace, and the lullabies that caressed his restless dreams—all seemed within reach, yet forever out of grasp.
As the sun began its descent, casting a melancholic hue upon the world, Eric’s heart whispered secrets of sorrow and longing. His tiny hand pressed against the cold glass, as if seeking solace in the touch that once belonged to his mother.
In the twilight hours, a faint glimmer of hope stirred within Eric’s heart. It was a memory, a precious fragment of his mother’s voice, whispering in his ear, “My darling, though I am gone, my love will forever dwell within your heart.”
With newfound strength, Eric turned away from the window, his gaze shifting from the past to the future. He carried his mother’s love, her spirit, within him, transforming his pain into a driving force to embrace life’s challenges with resilience and grace.
And as the stars illuminated the night sky, Eric, the little boy who once stared out of the window with teary eyes, stepped forward, ready to walk his own path, knowing that his mother’s love would forever guide him through the darkest of nights.
The Epilogue
Eric, cognizant of his mother’s ethereal benevolence, turned away from the window’s melancholy embrace and the arduous journey of fortitude.
He embarked upon the path of resilience, for within his spirit, he was cultivating the art of inner strength, learning to be an unwavering lighthouse of hope.
***********
In tear-stained windows, a mother’s love refrains,
Guiding the little boy through life’s turbulent domains.
Her spirit lingers, a beacon of solace and might,
Forever embracing him in love’s eternal light.
