Holding pink
the colour you loved on me
~baby book~
memory of love at first sight
of a different kind

Four year old tears cried
when words read to innocent ears

~Thankyou for coming to live with us~

I am sure, I knew then
we have met in lifetimes before

Were I gift to you, or you to me ?

Embrace soothes this soul, yours only
without you, I die, mother
yet parted when we shall be
I will have the world

for you are mine, and I am yours

in this lifetime,

and the next.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

As a mother,--heck, as a human being!!!--I was very moved by this loving, gentle, tender, beautiful, exquisite poem of the love and devotion that you and your mom have for one another. A very special mother--and a very special daughter!

Loves & Hugs,
LL

Sey, Linda

You would love her, people can't help but do so. Having her, makes me put my sadness into perspective, i have HER!

I couldn't ever say enough to describe

she is love, unconditional.

Thanks for reading.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

This is real, Gem.. Beautiful, and it touches the heart. This is what I wanted to see.

Everyone that's done this has done so well. You hit the nail on the head, also.. Gave me goosebumps, as I recalled my own babybook..

I want to go hug my mother now. *giggles*

Lovely job!

This is the most beautiful thing you have ever written that I have seen . . .

Were I gift to you, or you to me ?

BOTH and for a reason

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Aww, Gemma, this is so sweet and beautiful. No wonder
you are so sweet...you have a Mother who adores you
and you adore her right back. It's a very good thing
to be loved unconditionally, isn't it?
Hugs
