What a wonderful tribute to mothers and motherhood, my friend. This was beautifully stated and presented.
My own mother is probably my best friend. Scary as she gets older.
Appreciate you!

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy....and I can't imagine what you had to deal with. Both my parents were still here until Dad passed away last year and he was fading mentally for years and we expected it

I'm sorry your mother died when you were so long. I know that had to be very difficult. A mother's love can't be replaced, but I know she was looking over you and her love was in your heart. This is a beautiful presentation.

Oh, Marival, this is such a beautifully written poem in remembrance and dedicated to your Mother. To lose your mother at the tender ten years of age is hard. So very hard. Un abrazo y besitos, Ulla xxx

You kept the memories of your mom alive all these years since you were ten and we can all remember her with you. Someday in Heaven, you'll introduce us. She sounds like a beautiful soul. Lovely tanka!

Comment from juliaSjames
I am so sorry for your loss. May your dear mother continue to rest in peace. My daughter in law's name means "mother's love" in the Gujurati language. She is an excellent and caring mother. The one thing she never did when her children were small was to play games with them. She wasn't brought up that way.
I was touched by the longing in your poem, Gypsy. My father's second wife died young and her children have never really got over that loss.
Thanks for sharing
Blessings, Julia

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello Gypsy, your poem is beautifully penned and filled with high sensory appeal. Of special note:
no one can replace your place
(G, this is so very true. I know that when my mother died, my whole world changed and nothing was the same--then or now. They say that time heals all wounds. Time has not healed my heart. It actually gets more difficult as the years go by.)
You were so very young when your mother died. Life is not fair.
A beautiful Mother's Day tribute. Well done. Xo. M
