Mother's Day

       Mother's Day

              -i-

With each passing year
Gift of your love
In the eyes of our children
Expressions of your love


              -ii-

Unknowns with first born
As mature and grow
Releasing them daily
Expressions of your love


             -iii-

Role as mother nimble
New with each season
Ambivalence - joy and sorrow
Expressions of your love


              -iv-

A part of you willingly given
Learning as you go
Healing to the soul
Expressions of your love


              -v-

Transitions from totally dependent
To the day leave home independent
Spreading their wings with our blessing
Expressions of your love


              -vi-

Tender and vulnerable
Cords of love bind
Over miles and time
Expressions of your love

Dedicated to Colleen.
