"... thank you, Mom.
i miss you ...
Happy Mother's Day."


Poem Artwork

you
right here,
inside me
from the beginning
of my life,
from birth
until
death did us part.

you
not here;
yet i see
you in front of me,
looking back
at me
from the
mirror:  your face

mine;
your eyes
are my eyes
twinning together --
we are one:
mother.
daughter.
one and the same.

you
gave me
the best part
of your memory:
when i look
in the
mirror,
i remember.

thank you, Mom.
i miss you ...
Happy Mother's Day.

(c)  2007, Karla Dorman (5/11)

Not to rain on your parade, but I wish I could write a ballade for a real mother, and not for a imaginary one.
Anyway my friend, Happy Mother's Day.

Yes. I see mom when I look at you; you resemble her more than me. (I resemble the cat, as you always told me. Or the milkman, as our older sister would say. Oooh, would I ever get MAD at her! LOL) Mother's Day is hard for those who don't have their mother's guiding hands to help us through the valleys of life. You've penned a poignant, moving, heartfelt tribute to mom; she is no doubt smiling down on you this day. I know I am. Very well done; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

Happy Mother's Day to you, Mom, and Karla, happy Mother's Day to YOU as well (and all the moms here!).
