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.

      Lovely days here at the moment, rather warm inside with the sun coming in but the night have turned cool here and probably cooler than your nights.

  12. My daughter in law made a very special late brunch for Mother's Day, for me and for her own mum. The food was delicious, the drinks were welcome, the speeches were short and heartfelt, and the grandchildren were all having fun :) Thank you, family!!

  22. This feels so heartfelt and personal. A poem written for your mother paired with your own graphic makes the tribute even more meaningful — you can tell it comes from a place of love and remembrance. I’m sure many readers will connect deeply with the warmth and emotion behind it. Wishing you a gentle and meaningful Mother’s Day as you honor her memory.

  27. This is such an incredibly moving tribute to your mother, and your poem captures that deep, enduring love beautifully. The imagery of the dusty box in the attic and the blue-eyed lady in your locket is so vivid and full of tender nostalgia. It is so touching how you remind us that she is always remembered, not just on Mother's Day, but every single day.
