I wrote this as a tribute to a very special woman I have been privileged to know for a very long time.They are blessed with the kind of family I could only dream about. I love the entire family, but this is something special for:
Mother's Day
Circle of Love......
Allow me to tell of a woman I know,
spreading love and joy always anew.
A good family she came, then she grew,
her very own family, from a circle of two.
A woman not afraid to face the unknown,
traveling the seas to live her dreams.
Life blessed with God, love and children,
a circle of love she created it seems.
Stay at home mom, married life agrees,
her heart always filled with passion and zest.
Doing what is right, always choosing her words,
certainly has a knack of knowing what is best.
Her circle of love began with just two,
children born changed life forever.
Quiet turned to laughter, music to their ears,
would not have it any other way, never.
Together they faced many problems at hand,
this circle of love soon became heightened.
It took many years, the children grew,
learned together they would never be frightened.
These children now have families of their own,
this circle of love has continued to grow.
Grandchildren visit, too many to count,
this family is growing, how could they know.
To think it all began with one woman alone,
a prayer, dream mixed with prosperity and love.
An empire has grown from this circle of two,
by the grace of God on the wings of a dove.
Allow me to tell of a woman I know,
spreading love and joy always anew.
A good family she came, then she grew,
her very own family, from a circle of two.
Where, O, where would we be without the love of women in this world?
This lovely poem tells the story of but one woman and her circle of love, but it exemplifies the central and crucial role a loving woman and loving mother has in the circle of life of a whole family and its children and its children's children.
The value of a loving mother cannot be measured, only felt. It is enough to overflow the heart.
This is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Karen
I love the feel expressed here!
Sweet endearing Tribute!
The Circle always spinning,
into beauty unending!
A wonderful treasure I plan to savorrrrr...
Happy Mother's day to you and be forever Blessed and appreciated~!
Warmly, WArrior Lady Sheeeoox

Nice to see how love starts and grows. Once it starts it forever flows. Just as a river, searches for the sea. A woman's love flows to her family. Lovely, Karen.
What a beautiful concept, Karen. We are somewhat on the same page today, with our circles! :)) Any mother would be overjoyed to have this as their tribute and you both root this in a personal testimony and characterisation, and enshrine here a universal truth about the fundamental core of family life and stability. This is a treasure, thank you! Kate xx
Lovely and loving.
The circle concept is poignantly juxtaposed with your choice of photos. The rose petals form interjoined segments of a circle. Almost as if the petals are the people you describe. Very moving.

I love the circle concept in this loving tribute, Karen...as if a single seed is the catalyst for the growth...or a flower that attracts the perfect bee. Beauty grows and prospers, children bring grandchildren, as she returns full circle to that seed again.
This reminds me so much of the strength amd love of a matriarch in my own family. I wish I could share this with her. Much enjoyed.
Love,
Taylor

The woman will surely become even more blessed, Karen, when she reads your beautiful Mother's Day Tribute!
I especially love your choice of graphics, combined with your title - the circular - and multi-layered - form of the rose/(life) and it's warm coral color/(effusion) - altogether spectacular!
