Inner Sanctum,
The love of motherhood is expressed so well in your gentle words.
The inspiration from a mother who remembers the unconditional love of her once memories of her baby lives forever waiting to be rekindled by more grandchildren.
Love that radiates through each word that you display in your work.
Happy Holidays!

A very sweet and simple poem that could have come from anyone who has ever been a mother. You have voiced it for all of us. Wonderfully written in good free form and with good word choices and usage. Simple to the point that it doesn't have to say much, yet has said it all!! Thank you for sharing. Sharon

Hi Jewel,

Before I step forward which is much advance than reading the poem first, I thought it better to view the poem, and I read it and got no other way but to send you my review too. Much delayed I know, but I believe it is always better to be late than never.

How sweet the tune of your sweet heart is played here through the strings of your mind that showers a great amount of love to your loving offshoot - love for your grandchildren. Womenfolk symbolizes motherhood, love the inherent part of it; it is highly emphasizing when you told -Your voice
So gentle
Complete dependence
On my care
Your love
Unconditional
May I hold you forever?

Great! Jewell you've really placed glittering glow of a jewel through your words wisely assembled here resulting a fine composition from your heart.

Enjoyed the tender touch of your loving care shown to a baby's soft attachment.

Just as a baby is so soft and delicate, your words about motherhood are too. In comparison to the rose which is also tender and needs care, the baby depend on us for its care too. Lovely color chosen for this poem and beautiful words to describe motherhood. Great job! V.A.

The picture only adds to the imagery your words provide here. The words you've chosen are so apt that I can almost feel the peachfuzz and smell the Johnson's baby powder. Lovely poem friend.

May I hold you forever?
My innocent baby
In my arms
I am reminded of my grandchildren when they were babies and how i love them and still long for the day that they were so small and innocent
