When you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.
Recently, I read a book that perfectly addressed my current status as an “orphan.”

Missing Mom
A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go. ~Author unknown
Moms
Are the
Official
Storytellers
Of our lives, and once
They pass on, we become
Aware there’s nobody else
Who knows us and loves us the way
Our moms did. Perhaps that’s why losing
Your mom feels like having your heart cut out.
Those who tell the stories rule the world. ~Author unknown
Storytellers bolster our confidence,
Remind us of our identity,
Preserve our family history.
Other females might step up
To fill the vacancy,
But nobody can
Replace our mom
When she’s gone
From our
World.
Note: Poetry form is a Double Etheree.
Mother’s Day, 2018
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving, American writer
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his. ~Oscar Wilde, Irish poet
Happy Mother’s Day! Remember, even if you don’t have children, you’re probably mothering something, whether it’s a pet, a garden, or even a novel. Thanks so much for accompanying me on my writer’s path!
