Mum! At

forefront

of my mind,

fighting

for light,

a blazon of

memories

emanate,

 

combing

strands of

recollections,

plaiting each

thread of thought,

a keepsake at

cornerstone to

reminisce upon.

 

Like a

baby bird

trying

to fly,

you

fell from

nest

too soon,

 

I often wonder!

 

Do you

dance with

the breeze?

When I

blink, is

it your

light flashing

before my eyes?

 

Though

swimming

against

tides of

madness,

you found

release

eventually.

 

Now as

Mother's

Day

arrives,

I'll only

think of

you with

gladness,

 

echo

how

you

gave

me

time

to

flourish,

 

your

ability to

fuel my

imagination,

with a

mixed

bag of

possibilities.

well, memory brings joy and pain, hopefully to see our mum again. (Is it mother's day?)

There is so much unnoticed about the work of motherhood, the quiet dedication and perseverance necessary, the picking up of trying to help again when you feel you've failed, the saying 'sorry' too, and good to remember some of what has been given over many years. Rhiannon

'when I blink, is it your light..' I love that bit Jenny and the 'baby bird'. A heartfelt poem that gives us a lot about your mother and your lasting closeness to her.

The intricate, delicate relationship of child to mother, and the memories that flood us and are crystallize when they are gone. Your words evoke the love and the struggles of the Mother and Child connection and the deep unhealed pain when lost. It truly touched my heart.

Hi Penny,

I'm so sorry I've taken so long to reply to your lovely comment which really touched me, only I've been away.

It's always nice to know someone understands what being a mum is all about and how much as a daughter you can miss that special person that helped you throughout your growing life.

Long may all mums be remembered. Thank you for reading and sharing your beautiful thoughts which are always appreciated.

Jenny. smiley
