I wrote this sonnet for my mom this morning, Mother's Day.... Now I'm shutting down my computer and going to deliver it to her - She's recovering from serious health problems, and I want her to know how much I appreciate her. I hope each and every one of you who can see your own mother today does the same. PiP will still be here - Go tell your mom that you love her....   In days bygone when I was but a child, Long past yet thoughts of simpler times remain; Of how your loving touch healed youthful pain. Vanquished all fears because you kindly smiled, Embracing hearts of innocence beguiled, Your sunny ways quelled heartache's falling rain; Or helped me stand to face the world again, Unselfish with firm hand yet ever mild. Mom's love becomes our sweetest memory Of times in life that only two can share. Today I too have watched my children grow; How quickly years surpass we fail to see. Each moment spent with precious ones in care Reminds me of our days not long ago Waft every crest upon your destined sea Embrace the Wave of Serendipity Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity Nancy [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 05-13-2001).] |

This is such a wonderful acrostic/sonnet in tribute to your Mother's love Nan ... this is simply a treasure, beautiful sentiments to share on this special day. I too am fortunate to be able to visit with my mom today ... I treasure every moment we spend. Happy Mother's Day sweet teacher of words ... And congratulations on 9,000 posts ... you are so very much appreciated here.  Best wishes and prayers for her recovery, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 05-13-2001).] |

Yes, those who have mothers still with them should go and tell them Happy Mothers Day. This is so sweet and love the picture. |

This is the most beautiful gesture for your mother, and she will surely appreciate an acrostic sonnet, which is not the easiest of forms. A superb poem, and a lovely tribute Liz |

Fantastic Nan-- really wonderful. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |
