The clouds

My mom used to put me on her knees and pat my back all fast
I'd hum when she did
changing the tone to my own shaky melody
It would sound really funny
I miss it

My mom used to blow on my stomach
sounded like a fart
amusing to me
I would laugh without fail
trying to get away even though I'd come back
just so she could do it again
I didn't know about life

There were times when she'd be gone
for hours I waited
When she came home she'd go to sleep
I'd be mad
I didn't understand..

Later on I realized she worked three jobs
just to take care of me and my two brothers
by herself..
she did this..
My mom

And this is a gift to her... for it's filled with appreciation for the love that made play time, no matter how tired. *S*

Welcome to Passions! *S*

This indominable spirit and strength that you describe, enlaced in the softness of a woman's love...that is a gift indeed...an unbreakable, indestructable gift.
Wonderful write.

I love your poetic and romantic sounding name!

As a Mom, I know how much this show of appreciation and love will warm the very soul of your wonderful and devoted mother.

You are amazing gifts for one another!

Sending big, warm hugs for each of you!
