I close my eyes and see

a cool Sunday afternoon in Bay

family ready to spend time in prayer

peace, happiness sunshine all the way.

 

 

 

Me wearing  floral black blouse

laptop closed with a sleeping mouse

kitchen sparkling

spices spreading aroma in the house.

 

 

 

  

Younger; not really cranky

 

 

 

 

elder ready with a card well-painted

hubby in my fav color, not watching CNN

smiles, hugs and kisses much awaited.

  

Life's no more a stranger

dialing the past, recalling

rewrapping my late mom

feeling her perfect touch

plucking a tear

managing a smile

 

 

I open my eyes and see 

table inviting with flowers

a day with no errands

 attention, co-operation and  quality time

all valuable gifts around me

house designed on no dime

My dear Sistah Buzzy - this brought tears to my eyes - you have created such a beautiful atmosphere on this screen and I can feel the love in your heart through your colourful words - the scents, the sights, the feelings in your home now must be remarkable and you the Queen of the Day get to relax and enjoy. Thank you. Through you, I remember special times with my own mother - and I send all the best and many hugs on your special day - and to all the Mothers on Gather as well. Blessings to each of you.
