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 Happy Mother's Day, Mom I love you Nancy (Repost from Mother's Day 2001) [This message has been edited by Nan (05-11-2002 09:37 AM).] |

Nan darling girl Oh wow, Your writing is utterly utterly superb. Never do you fail to lift my spirits, even with a tear in my eye you still write the loveliest things. This is truly beautiful I love it utterly, pure and perfect poetry Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

I love your Mom too, so give her a hug for me on Mother's Day will you? Bet she is going to look really "spiffy" tomorrow. I sure wish I was there to give her a hug too. We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start! |

We get a bonus, it's an acrostic and sonnet in one. This is beautiful and touching. It's no wonder why I call you the queen of sonnets! I noticed that this is not the shakesperian sonnet form, which one is it? This is a keeper~ Take care Nan and enjoy your day Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
