What poem is this? It's fantastic and I love the format! I did have one suggestion, however: You started out with a lovely meter and rhythm, but you sort of lost it on the fourth-ish line. Otherwise, your poem is amazing!

It's amazing how those feisty people who never seem to slow down just keep on ticking along while the rest of struggle to get up and down. I guess, what keeps them going to strong is keeping going. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Ha, that what Mom always says; that she keeps going because she keeps going! However, she doesn't write many poems. LOL

The energy of some mothers - such as yours - is amazing. What they do for their families shows true devotion. Your series of poems has highlighted what wonderful family memories that house holds.

    Dear LisaMay, I so appreciate your following along this April journey with me! It was therapeutic for me to record my memories before our family home changes ownership in just a few days. Mom came last week to collect my key. Sad. But, life goes on!

    There'll be other keys and other changes. I can well imagine how therapeutic writing about it has been... sort of closure.

What an amazing Mother you have and she sounds like she has endless energy too. I once worked all night on a ball gown for my sister to surprise her in the morning, it was a wonderful gift. I enjoyed your fine write full of fond memories, love Dolly x

    Oh, dear Dolly, it is always wonderful to hear from you. Your story reminds me of something we would see on Cinderella, making a ball gown for your sister. That is a wonderful story! Thank you for reading and sharing!
