Day 263, mother's day

I'm thankful to have a really good mom, one who as far as I remember never told me I annoyed her or that I was too much work, even when I was. She was always there, without complaint and I can't imagine life without her :)

Mother.

What a many sided word
Mother.

It can fill to brim when there
and leave a gaping hole all
things flow through when not.
It's a birdsong of needs
momma, momma, momma

It's spilled from tiny tongues
like a carefully placed treasure
Mom-my.

It will evoke emotion
in any language

J'adore ma mère

Ever connected to her in

faithfulness or longing

she is, and will be

a starting place for our

centre selves, the bearer

of what's to come.
