Listening to every heart

Just Talk To Me

No special time is required
Here’s my shoulder, come lean on in
I can be your confidant, or
Your lovely, your girl, or your twin.

I can be your mother, your friend
Or just some kind of staunch brick wall
I can hold all your day-night dreams,
I can be your very shawl. Call!

No special days are required
I’m here to listen to you speak…
No Hallmark moments need inspire
You can call me when strong, or weak

I shall hold your confidence
All your secrets when whispered thin
The crepe into which they’re folded?
The mystery of a mother’s ken.

Just call.

Email.

Know trust.

Be calm.

I’m here.

Know love.

Love, me.

[P.S. I had a great Mom’s day…
But a friend and I got to talking
And we know that our kids are
Busy, and they go to great lengths
To let us know they love us “more”
…when all they need to do is call.]

when my son calls and says, "how are you Mother?" I say, "I haven't eaten for weeks. I was afraid you would call and I didn't want my mouth to be full."

any day is Mother's Day
when our kids call

you speak for all mothers Karilea

You know the language of a Mother and share it beautifully, dear Karilea. And you are so right, a call is all we need. Or a smile and a hug.

Had to smile at Kate's comment.

Love,
Margherita
