The Higher Calling ~ Motherhood
My nonet for the ninth of May.33 total reviews
Comment from Loren .
What a beautiful sentiment, Sally. It seemed to take on a natural progression of its own to meet the demands of a Nonet. In other words it did not appear forcd as many of them seem to do. I really liked the womb being the first cradle and I did notice that although Dad wanted a boy and Grandma a girl, the mother remained silent. Happy, it seems just to have a child. Loren

Wow, thank you so much Loren. I am glad you saw my mother?s heart. A boy or girl healthy in my arms is all I desired. I appreciate the honoring six star review, your time and encouragement.
Always my best to you and yours,
Sally :+))

My mom had three. I was the last and told her she stopped when she got the perfect kid. I hope you had a good Mothers Day and created some more memories

What a sweet compliment from your mother. Thank you for the kind review and well wishes. I had a nice Mother?s Day and spoke to everyone by phone. My husband made me breakfast in bed and a wonderful meal on the grill for dinner and dessert a la mode.
All my best,
Sal xo
Comment from Ulla
Hi Sally, this is is such a lovely poem. I know where you're coming from. I miscarried as well, and then we had our daughter. Like you, I've enjoyed motherhood and being a grandmother. I'm sorry I'm so late in reviewing. I've been very busy of late and I'm catching up. Warm regards. Ulla:)))

Comment from Sandra Elizabeth Williams
This is a tremendously beautiful poem, Sally. I love the words in the picture as well.
You couldn't have said it better...a higher calling is motherhood indeed.
So sorry about your first but thank God you had some miracles thereafter.
A beautiful poem.

A truly lovely tribute to motherhood. I have three children, but I never forget the one who didn't make it. I also have three grandsons and four great grandchildren. They are all gifts from God. Thank you for reminder.
Blessings,
Elaine

What a beautiful write, Lady Sal -- love the sentiments and the wishes here... I had two miscarriages and there's always just a little something whispering to you sometimes late at night but not sorrowful or anything... just there. ;) :) Thanx for the beautiful offering! ;) ;) Yvette

Thank you dear Yvette. It is sad to hear of your loss but rejoice in your three sons and what a blessing they are that fill your days. Happy Mother?s Day, sweet lady.

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, a lovely tribute to motherhood, with all its warmth and nurturing spirit - a beautiful presentation in its message of a "Higher Calling," though not felt by every woman. Those about whom this is written more than redeem those who do not. I'm surprised this isn't a contest entry...

Thank you so much for the excellent review and kind compliments. I have challenged myself, and anyone who wants to join in, to a Nonet poem every month on the ninth. This is my second offering. I am working on both the Nonet, and Duotrain which are the most natural forms of poetry to me. I have already entered a Double Nonet for the upcoming Nonet Poetry Contest, too. Thank you, again.
All my best,
Sal :+)

This was a beautiful write, Sal. I think you used the form perfectly for your message. The womb was your first cradle was a great line and image. Well done, my friend.
