trembling
cherry petals in sunshine,
my mother’s warmth

Notes: Thanks to Michelle H. Barnes, and her quote by Auguste Rodin for inspiring this poem:
“The main thing is to be moved,
to love, to hope, to tremble, to live.”
Each April, as her birthday draws near, I feel an ache that is me missing her. Remembering love is like magic — it can’t be touched, only believed in.

This poem is very touching.
Every year, every month and frequently every night I still think of her, too. When we lose mom, it feels like a big part of life is gone.
Beautiful post!

Thanks, Suzanne’s Mom! I wish I could wear some of your daughter’s jewelry — but I have so many allergies. I can only wear gold and platinum. 😦

Did you get something gold there a few years ago when you won a $100 credit? Wasn’t that you?
