 You’re skipping through life, seldom smelling the roses. I beckon you on your knees to live rather than to make a living. Breathe in gorgeous scents of lavender and freedom of a quiet day in the house where only the cat sings her song of beauty, independence and the tea pot whistles a tune of solitude in the crisp air holding the strength of ropes.

 

Breathe in and out, breathe in and out, and breathe in and out. Please just live for me, don’t make your life hard. I will perform those acts you have committed to memory. Love should be easy, though, in this world we have made it hard and now all you fret about is currency this and currency that. When will this world realize how we are treating our generations?

Author's Note

This really is a Mother's Day poem. It may not seem like it, but I can seek the message within.

I really didn't get the message at first read but eventually I did when I paid more attention to your words. It's a very sweet poem. Although it's a mother's day poem I think even fathers can relate to it. I like your subtle way of expressing your appreciation for the all the mothers. Great Job.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Beautiful, again. I love your message and passion behind the words, and sense a real air of peacefulness in your writing, which I really enjoy.

also the message u gave is a great one

[Cherry Chapstick]

I loved it! Especially loved the flow--it read very nicely. I actually read it once, and then when I saw your note, I read it again, and I think I found some of the Mother's Day meaning...(maybe.)

Maybe, (but this is just me) you might consider making the message within a tiny bit more obvious, so that we as readers can find the meaning on our own without you having to tell us in an author's note. Just a suggestion. But anyway I loved it. I'm going to put this in my library. great job! :D

This is byfar my favorite piece of writing of yours that I have read thus far. I do see the subtle symbolism of Mother's Day in its simplicity.
"When will this world realize how we are treating our generations?"
My favorite line, it seems to sum everything up nicely. I completely agree.
