Only Love

~ for my mother on Mother's Day ~

 

Art ~ Garmash

 

 

~~~

So many tears from heaven fell

but not today

 

Today

love is a rainbow…

 

as butterflies dance

like tiny ballerinas

carefree and beautiful

 

decorating a sky

as blue as your eyes

 

While reflections of love

~~ Only love ~~

Shine in mine

 

No, there are no tears today

 

Just rainbows…

 

and lilies

blooming in a soft bouquet

of watercolor dreams

adorning a garden of memories

 

No, there are no tears today

not on this spring morning

 

Today,

there is only love

 

Happy Mother’s Day Mom

I miss you

~~~

I am a mother of 6, My kids are still at the age where on Mother's day I get gifts of soggy toast and hand drawn cards/pictures, I sometimes long for them tom grow up and write me words on a card similar to what you have written but at the same time I like them being so innocent and young, so sggy toast instead of loving kind words it is then for another few years :) I'm new here, just joined yesterday, If you have time maybe you could pop by and read some of my work? Many thanks xK.

Thank you for your lovely comment and welcome to WC. I'm a mom too. My daughter is in college now, but I still have her first Mother's Day present to me - a poem and her little handprint from pre-school. Hang on to those precious gifts - they become even more special over the years. I look forward to reading your poetry. Thanks again. Julie

A truly emotive and serenely beautiful write. Enjoy and I shall read again if not before but on subsequent 'Mothers Days'

Very beautiful tribute to your mom. Memories can provide happy thoughts at a time of perceived sadness. Thanks you.

dear Julie... You have left a trail
of Rose petals in my heart. Mothers
are the quintessential garden of our
soul... A field of Lillie's in watercolor dreams.
You are an artist of poetry. Louvre.... Pat

MsJewel, this was beautiful.
Those first four lines, magic.
You're mum must look down on you with the same love and pride with which you look up to her.

A beautiful poem for love and your mother.
"and lilies
blooming in a soft bouquet
of watercolor dreams
adorning a garden of memories"
The above lines are perfect. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry for the love of dear mom.

Julie: Oh my Lord, how gorgeous, you know it is so beautiful. What a beautiful tribute, and I know she loves it, I know in my soul she is so proud of her lovely daughter. There is no one that can write like you. Everytime I come here and am so dumbstruck, so in awe, always smiling, thinking how beautiful - but today a sadness, but also a smile too knowing how much you are loved, how much you love your Mother. I can only blabber; truly your talent is amazing girl. Bravo. The art is phenomenal, the title is perfection. Now, you have given me another thought, for when I see a rainbow, I will think of this poem and a Mother's love. Thank you so much.....Dale
