TO MY MOTHER
by Edgar Allan Poe
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you-
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you
In setting my Virginiaīs spirit free.
My mother- my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.

Mariaīs Mon has joined a elite band of horses, siring his second Kentucky Derby winner.
Very few sires have ever sired more than one Kentucky Derby winner, with this elite band containing the likes of Black Toney, Sir Gallahad, Blenheim, Bull Lea, Bold Bidder, Exclusive Native, Halo and Alydar. That Mariaīs Mon has now been responsible for two Kentucky Derby winners from only ten crops of three-year-olds is remarkable particularly when one bears in mind that he himself never won beyond the age of two!

Even more remarkable for Albertans is that Mariaīs Mon is a great grandson of the last Albertan owned Kentucky Derby winner, Frank McMahonīs Majestic Prince.
