Ester

In the background

I fade

Until I quietly dissolve 

Blending in

No one notices

But I am happy

...joyful even

I can just sit back

And share

Even though 

It doesn't seem 

Like I'm doing anything 

Significant

I like being in

The background

Smiling contentedly

Just like Mom

Quietly working

Making everyone else look good

Helping

Praying

In silence

Without fanfare

Or worldly acclaim

I miss you Mom

Even after 3 years
