Happy Mother's Day!



The violet,

though crushed between tiny fingers,

was my most treasured gift.

Chosen,

for me,

by a heart that only understands

simple gestures --

gestures of love.

Wishing you delightful gifts of simple gestures,

Hana

Happy Mother's Day!

Who fed me from her gentle breast

And hushed me in her arms to rest.

And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?

My Mother.
