inside the house as Mom does her chores quiet as a mouse her son comes in the door his big blue eyes alight as he clutches his pockets tight then brings forth his treasure to show his love without measure with wilted stems and tattered posies but to Mom, they're as good as roses Jason Daniels (a friend of mine, a few years ago, told me the story about her son bringing her some wildflowers and inspired this poem, since I found it in my dusty old file I am reminded how much I miss her and her poetry, I hope I hear from her again soon...)

I use to go out and find the first violets of spring as they peeked up from the needles of the pine trees.I would pick a hand full and give them to my mother. paladin |

Jason, such a priceless gift a gesture can be...particularly from a son to a mother.... |

I can only relate from the vantage of a little girl bringing in the posies - but it's one of the best experiences any mom can have...Nicely done...  |

Jason My husband always tells me of his gift of flowers to his mother...and the words, "I just found it in the alley". This poem is filled with sweet tenderness. |
