In Honor of Mothers

It is no accident that Mother’s Day is celebrated in the Spring. A time when our Mother Earth is creating, emerging, birthing the beauty of all things.

My daughter has been asking me what I want for Mother’s Day. My reply is the same each time she asks this question. “A mother’s gift is her child.” Being fortunate and having a wonderful life, each day feels like Mother's Day to me.

These humble words below were inspired by my daughter and hero.

FOR THE A-GIRL

Flowers in Spring
Sun flys the air
Fresh blooms
Swirling
Maypole hair

What be this gift?
From source you say?
Grateful tidings
Love, brilliance, graceful-play

Happy Mother’s Day!
