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."
