19 December

You are here Mama
In the morning garden
By scented jasmine bush
Admiring the black butterfly

You are here Mama
In the noon garden,
Prayer book in hand
Lips moving, silent devotion

Mama

Mama

You are here Mama
In the evening garden
Ginger tea honey sweetened
Plate of biscuits by your side

You are here Mama
On your birthday
In your favourite chair
Laughing as Don
Kneels by your feet
Kisses you Happy Birthday

You are here with us Mama.

Always

    This is a lovely tribute to a woman we miss all the time. When I grow up, I want to be more like her, but I think it may take a few more lifetimes.

  2. Shanta says:

    A joyful tribute to a special lady wrapped in precious memories. Xxx
