Mom, I see you up there tonight, looking down at us.
It’s because of you I have had the strength to live on.
You held my hand through the pain of two miscarriages.
If only words could say how much I miss you right now.
Today, on Mother’s Day, I became a mother at last.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Mom’s are precious aren’t they. Sometimes they do so much without us realizing.
Yes, very precious da Jb. 🙂
That was powerful and poignant Leo.
Nicely expressed in just 55 words
