Mother's Day Siesta Sunday May 14, 2017

For Mom, 

this expresses exactly how I feel and think today.

While remembering my mother

I also remember when I was a young mother

and that at times it was overwhelming. 

Now that my sons are grown young men, 

I achingly remember those precious moments

with them in my arms

and close to my heart. 

They are now too big to cuddle and carry

It is more the other way around

that they have to carry me, 

and help me. 

Treasure those beginning years

you will never get them back. 

These are the flowers I got from my sons

They had carefully chosen the colours, that I love. 

Gentle reminders to myself

relax

enjoy

and find a peaceful space

to just reflect

and 

rejuvenate. 

Honor yourself

and

mothers. 

Where would we be

without them.
