Your club entry read well, Nancy. Great job with the syllable
count per line and the message. I love the way your picture
shows your mother at the two different ages. I believe she
has a great life filled with many stories. Yes, the family
resemblance is hard to overlook among individuals when
one knows about them.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Nancy,

It meant me getting a few years under my belt for me to completely understand that older people are still REAL people who used to be young and who still feel like those same young people under all those layers of wrinkles and weakened muscles. *smile*

I love looking at those old pictures. It's sad that our kids and grandkids couldn't have known us when we were a bit younger. ha Thanks!

Lovely senryu poem and picture. Over time, we do resemble our moms if not in features, in our behavior, too. Hope you were blessed on Mother's Day.

One comment about the middle line - it has 8 syllables. Perhaps just remove the "Til" - as it doesn't add much more info.

    You're welcome. We all miss little stuff like that - surprisingly even for these short forms!

I think you've written the perfect tribute to your mother, and recognised the gift of life given by both God and your mum, without whom it wouldn't be possible bless you Nancy, Roy
