In the realm of love’s sweet embrace
Where daughters and sons find their place
You stand as guardian with care profound,
Nurturing blooms as godmothers do.
The wind hums, oblivious to a seed’s origin
For it’s not by labour’s toil but by heart’s delight
You guide present and future contributions.
How lucky we are to hold a time capsule!
Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate it! ♥♥♥
And this mama will be recovering from the Eurovision party… 😀
That is a beautiful poem, Khaya. Wishing you and all a Happy Mother’s Day! Cat mothers, too! 🙂❤️🐱
Lovely – and recognizing Godmothers specifically reminds me of the many ways “Motherhood” manifests itself.
Happy Mother’s Day, in all of mother’s many forms.
Oh yes, I forgot the Cat Mothers! 😀 Thanks Lavinia, I hope the day was filled with lots of love. <3
You’re spot on Laura, motherhood manifests in so many ways. There is a significant number of women, chosen mothers, who played (and continue to) a role in my life by choosing to step and help fill cracks in my hearts. I believe they also deserve to be honoured.
Here’s to all mother’s many forms, my friend! Hope yours was joyous and filled with love. <3
What a lovely tribute to godmothers, Khaya. How beautiful: “not by labour’s toil but by heart’s delight” I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Thanks my friend. I hope yours was as beautiful as you are!
