She put her eager hands about my life
And led me out into the bright new day ...
The clean, cool wind blew through my laughing hair
All wonder glowed upon my waiting face ...
She taught me how to love the great, tall things
We practiced how the robin tells his soul ...
She showed me how a rain-pool holds the world
How I could give a sunset-full of love!
Margie,
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love it. Another thing that your mother taught you was to be the wonderful mother that you are. That was her gift to you!
Hi Margie-

Hey Margie....
ReplyDeleteMothers..... I have nothing left to sat 'bout that....they are angels......
Margie... I've gotta confront you.... see after reading Keshi's goodbye.... I am undoubtedly prepared to leave....the charms gone....the dreams have eroded....and I feel like my blog is turning into a burden....and I don't want it to be like this....so I am leaving infinitely......
But before I go Margie... I'd like to tell you.....you are the most pure and true person I know... I think that you truely have a heart of gold....so never ever sell it... :D :P...
I wish we could remain in contact.....any ideas how to???
Take Care.....and goodbye for now!!!
Margie,
ReplyDeleteI MUST stop by to give you a BIG HUG and a heartful THANK YOU, my friend!(and only you know why)

Margie...
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful tribute to your mom... what a lovely heart she grew in you... what a wonderful time of celebration, especially this time of year... to honor and celebrate you both for your birthday... :)

your words always have a special charm about them...
ReplyDeletemy mother is also almost 86 and we are like best friends - I cannot imagine my world without her - since we are both alone now, we share so much more.
it's sad and tragic to lose a mother young, yet the longer I have mine here, the more I believe she is invincible and immortal
I have tried to raise my children to only have good memories of their old ma and to leave a legacy of love
beautiful lines!!!
ReplyDeleteMother is the one, whoes lap we churn. She's the goddess, she's the prowess.
ReplyDeletenice one.
