With Love

It was supposed to be a sunny day,

warm and smelling of spring;

but instead it was a chilly day,

cold, rainy and dim.

So instead of the favorite picnic table

underneath the pines, with little yellow

lanterns hanging from the bows,

we had this...

... and lanterns instead, all in a row

... and mismatched china plates

... and roses so sweet, you could have cried

... and vintage vases, whispering the colors of the sea

and of warmer days ahead.

Yes, this day was special...

it was Mother's Day.

We love you, Momma-Lou!
