Happy Mother's Day

 A poem I wrote and a graphic I made remembering my mother on Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day to all mums where Mother's Day is recognized today. 

The night was dark, I was drawn to the Attic,

And there I sat on the dusty old box

My mind wandering back in the past,

To the sweet lady that's in my locket.

Complexion of peaches and cream,

Eyes that always smiled,

Colour bluer than the daytime sky,

Brighter than a star.

She walked each path of life with pride,

Head always held high,

Always smiled,

I thought of the sweet lady that's in my locket

With the young one by her side.

Today I remember her, today is her day,

- I always remember her -

For she is my mother, and I am that child,

In the locket.
