I love this picture of my mom and I at the beach. This is what motherhood is all about!For Mom
"Her voice stretches out to me
like a branch that holds
a quivering leaf
from dropping to a dark landscape.
Remembering times past
the two of us
spilling sweet milky laughter
across a sturdy table.
Two hearts tightly
bound together by faithful glue
Thank you, Mom
for giving me
gentle wings of resilience."

The photo is so pretty. And your poem is very touching -- I especially love the line "the two of us spilling sweet milky laughter across a sturdy table." Incredible imagery.
A wonderful moment between you and your mum! What a lovely tribute - your poem is beautiful. Mums are special people!
