Poetic Captions: Mother's Day
 |
| My mom on my wedding day. Thanks Mom! |
Moms come in all shapes and sizes. Moms inspire us, care for us, help us grow. We love our moms and they love us. So why not spend an hour or two crafting a poem for your mom.
With All My Heart, Mind, and Soul
--by Rena J. Traxel
In a mother’s arms
A child found
All the love and security
She needed to grow.
In a mother’s way
A rebellious teen
Saw all she needed
To choose her own way.
In a mother’s song
A young woman hears
The strength she needs
To conquer her fears
In a child’s heart
Her mom is her world.
In a teenage mind
Her mom is her guide.
In a woman’s soul
Her mom is eternally there.
What has your mom done for you?

Next Friday, on Poetic Captions Bill Boudreau will be providing a downloadable colouring page to accompany a poem and activity created by me. On Monday, a beloved orange cat will help me launch my new series Ouch! I hope you come back for that.
That's beautiful, Rena. It brought a little tear to my eye; I'm sure your mother will love it. Lovely.

ReplyDeleteI owe a lot to my mom and I'm thankful that I have such a wonderful Mom!
DeleteSuch a lovely poem for your mom, an such a nice idea for a gift! Sorry you won't get to be with her on Mother's Day - maybe you can Skype - not quite the same, but better than phone only :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Susanna. I did get to call her and let her know that I dedicated this post to her.
DeleteWhat a beautiful poem, Rena! Your mother must have loved it!!
