7 thoughts on “mother’s day”
This is a beautiful and moving poem, Roberta. I am reading it on World Labyrinth Day, May 7, and thinking of my mother in her last years, the time she sat and watched me walk the labyrinth in Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, the beauty of her mind even after a stroke.
Thank you so much, Nan. Your comment means a lot to me!
Dear Roberta, and you ARE a dear person … you too, Michael. You both made my day.

Thank you Neal!
I just made a donation to Pulse.
I can’t think of a better way to honor my mom’s memory on Mother’s Day.
Thank you, editors, for posting my haiku.
A touching & timely haiku
TY, Michael!
