Happy Mother's Day (especially to MaMa, Elizzy & Grams)! Here's a Little Poem.

I didn’t know her then,
but her gaze still held
that familiar smile
and sweet affection
I’ve come to know

She holds my sister, on a beach
cheek to cheek
in soft sunlight
What a pair they were,
mutual admiration and warm connection

I’d like to have known her then,
to hear her voice and love her style
It’s sweet to discover her in that time,
younger than I am now
with a different point of view

But in this moment we seem to meet
It makes me smile just to know
that she will love me too,
that I will join their club
and forever belong
