A Psalm For Mom

With warm, loving memories of my mom, appreciation and blessing I frame. Like poets of old, I’m penning this psalm to give praise to those who earn that good name. Movers and shakers of the happy home risk takers, bakers and merrymakers mood breakers / servants with a rare genome Salutations to moms, our caretakers. Even moms sometimes feel failure, defeat; circumvent arguments, speak peace instead. Once in a while, she will need to retreat - grant her a garden with grace overhead. A garden where mothers can go to pray; a place that provides strength for each new day. July 2, 2019 contest: NA the day away host: Lu Loo

thank you, Lu Loo. She was a great example for me. I appreciate your comment; thankfully, my mom's in heaven. I'm 76 and she had me at 33 which would make her 109. I appreciate the placement, thanks again.
