my mother’s magic show has a deep bag of tricks each day pieces of her drift away i gaze into her heart; i tap on her mind while she smiles and assures me all is well. i am here. still her baby, i play hopscotch on one foot, a tenuous skip from box to box until I trip over the ineptitude i feel stones scatter among stuffed emotions now I am the one who dispenses hugs kisses fears away, and smiles over teacups together, we weave our dreams and memories later i cry in the privacy of my car i am up to here in tears --- Alison |

Alison~ This is sadly tender and touching~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Oh, Alison, love ofttimes comes full circle ~ and then other circles of love spin off from that circle ~ and so on, and so on... Your mother has taught you well and the love that she put into you is now lighting the lives of your own children. A tender, heartfelt piece of writing that touched the mother in me. Love & mother's Light, Linda  |

Thank you all. It's a balancing act between parent and child when care needs shift. I never think of our roles as having reversed - though some people have said that to me - My Mom is always my Mom. She is strong and beautiful. She is very proud and works hard to maintain the independence she can hang on to. I am proud to be her daughter. Just for the record, Linda darlin', I have no children -- those kisses and hugs are for my Mom. A weak link in the story line of my poem that I have corrected on my original. Thank you all again - xoxoxo Alison |
