my mother

I learned everything I needed to know in a brown rocking chair

in little granny’s living room

safe in your lap

when I was still a child

Your eyes were always wet with love

soaking the stories of your family:

the rescued raccoon babies,

the wolves on little granny’s mountain,

the little house dug into its side,

your baby sister and the cereal box,

My ears were always dry and thirsty for your voice

and they still are mama

Your thoughts are always precious

such a perfect Mothers Day tribute...yes, the safety and comfort of her womb...then her lap and most of all her love.
