My mother is...

Tuesday, December 7, 2004





My mother is an enigma.....a mystery to my soul that feels comforting and warm. She is the person I think of when I smell vanilla and brown sugar. She is the person I think of when I fold warm towels dried with bounce.....she is the very element of home to me.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday left its breath

slowly melting me

and today surprised

us both with the

kind glee neither one

has ever truly believed in

Fortunately for you

I closed the window

and ended the reign of

yesterday's storm

    I love when mothers and daughters get alone so well. Love is such a gift in families.
    The writing was beautiful too.

    Your mother is blessed to have a daughter who loves her so much. Isn't it amazing what we think of or remember when we think of mother? When I think of mine I think of rocking chair, toast and coffee and lemon-meringue pie.
