She dressed her little girls in frills
cleaned up her boy’s skinned knees
told stories at bedtime
tucked them in
“Sleep Tight”
***
Nights and Weekend Ball Games
toting all that stuff
weekly voice, piano
backstage her Drama Queen
up front
***
Driving Driving Driving
remember the brakes
eye on the mirror
can’t afford
mistakes
***
Loving them- always
missing them- each day
“call when you can dear
can’t stand when you’re away”
***
We love our moms – our mothers
how could we do without
those little touches
that’s what mothers are
all about
***
Thanks to playing with brushes for the sweet picture
and Jingle for the sweet bouquet/ award

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

Every Mother who reads this will tear up and its all cos of how you’ve expressed the act of Motherhood in such a simple and loving nature. Although the process of Motherhood can be stressful, you manage to overlook those part and painted a picture of perfection. This poem also shows the optimism in you.

Thanks for celebrating moms. The imagery here doesn’t remind me of my mom. It does, however, remind me of the mothering I did…still do. Although my sons are grown I still play an active role as mother. The job has cost me dearly in terms of my professional career, emotionally and physically (I had two difficult pregnancies with long-term consequences). There has been no monetary reward for the labor, but I don’t have a moment’s hesitation when I say the effort was/is worth the costs. Whenever my sons call home, like today, I am amply rewarded for all the dirty clothes I’ve washed, all the hours spent in the car, all the piano practices that demanded cotton in my ears but I said “no”, etc. Motherhood is a remarkable gift. Everyone should try to remember that 365 days a year not just on a single Hallmark day. Happy Mother’s Day to mothers, sons, daughters, grandmoms, husbands, fathers, and to the entire human family.
