She sits and spins,
A tapestry of wonders taking shape and life
Between her vision and her words.
Her mind a world away
From errant children setting out
To carry the spark of life
To a new dawning.
And yet, within that spark
Her fire blooms.
A wildflower sown
And rooted in their souls.
Planted with love,
Watered with tears,
Nurtured with laughter
And cherished wisdom.
Looking back as the tide takes them,
Her children see only the distant beacon
Of a mother’s love.
Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

Nice to meet you, Sue. I am visiting from Diana’s blog. “Sublime” is a perfect word for this poem, Diana. A huge WOW, “to carry the spark of life” “her fire blooms”. Everything about this poem is beautiful. Tear brimming. I get it “A Mother’s Love.”❤️

The last stanza is so real – great comparison with mothers and children.
“Nurtured with laughter
And cherished wisdom.”
Enough to fill and direct a life time
