Excellent

Stunning Mother's Day contest entry Judestar, I love the way you offer your rhyme scheme here. The picture threw me a bit from what it was about and the color background too - so I like the contrast of a blue for Mother's Day - blue is one of my favorite colors and I'm a mom. So there is no rule that says it has to be pink or along that line - but maybe a picture of a blue bouquet might have been a good one to find. Just something that I noted as I was reading the poem. Either way I will probably be voting for yours. Doesn't this contest end like way in the future too? Wow you are getting a jump start I think on 2019 for sure! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you - Cheers, Fonda

This is the kind of greeting card verse any mother--young orvold--would appreciate. I especially like your last stanza. Rod

Thanks for the review rod. It is true life and I know the best gift my mom loves to receive is her daughter happy, safe and smiling. Cheaper than flowers and non refundable. Cheers, j

Lovely and eloquent. Well rhymed and timed. Preciously sincere. Lovely presentation too. Nothing surpasses the gift of love! MOther's unconditional love is supreme above all!

Love,

Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful review my friend. I think that you know the feeling when you come home and your mom knows that you are safe and happy, is a gift at that specific moment. Ahhh, moms. My snow sculpture has morphed from elephant to polar bear to some little white rodent after the unseasonal rains. sigh, judester
