Mother Day

Mother
MOTHER.

From seeds
You watered us.

As we sprouted
You helped us grow
With the warmth
Of your radiant love.

Along the way
You trimmed us
To keep us safe
From Harm.

When we grew out of
Our little pods,
You replanted us,
Where you gave us hope
And showed us faith
That we may be able
To do for others
As you did for us.

~Jim Little~

I'll celebrate that and extend the good wishes throughout the world. Jakarta posted an acknowledgement of this important date on her blog today, too.

That's a wonderful poem and a photo that is full of significance. One can read many "stories" in that simple photo.

Lovely photo! Beautiful. Say, did your mother have any photos from her pilgrimage, or is that an inappropriate thing to ask?

"Noël est là,
Ce joyeux Noël, des cadeaux plein les bras,
Qui réchauffe nos coeurs et apporte la joie,
Jour des plus beaux souvenirs,
Plus beau jour de l'année."

“Christmas is there,
This Merry Christmas, gifts full arms,
Who heats our hearts and brings the joy,
Day of the most beautiful memories,
More beautiful day of the year."
