rosie

so excited for mother's day
you are!  and have prepped
a table, covered and all
for an unveiling in the a.m.


you made me a momma and I used to 
let that sway me when it came to 
words from veterans
but this thing with you and me?
not a swaying kinda thing

so emotionally wise, H
i'm amazed at the way
your sensitive Spirit
nails my moods within
an instant of the shift
milli-instant if it's a word

the twisting path of life thus far
rains and shines and watching
your young self navigate it with
at times the rightful ways of a 7 year old
and at times with the wielding of an 
ancient wise sword
and i must mention
you're so witty!  hard laughs
and hugs with you
- my faves -

being your mom
is guiding light
& saving grace
& the best

happy day 
2,020! and cheers 
to 20,600 more
