Thunder rumbles in the sky
a sign that all should run and hide
but trouble brews, eclipse of moon
and I am stuck; a mother’s plight.

Grope and feel in disarray
reach the spirit of the prey
ask and then receive the news
a wedding day just cabaret.

That is there and we are here
no one says I have to hear
and so the matter tosses, turns,
until the thunder disappears.

Then to calm the night’s foray
blessed are the ones who pray
for no collision in the sky
when sun and moon play hide-away.

Sunday’s child is loving and giving,
a mother’s heart always forgiving!

I liked the flow of this piece.  Mothers do require perseverance, which is often a huge challenge.

Enjoyed.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

Dear Helen

"ask and then receive the news
a wedding day just cabaret."

A mother is more!

Janette and Martie - thank you so much for the read.  My son is on his way to wherever he has to go and I can only hope that he has clarity.
