Heartstrings

Thin ice cracks
Carefully you tread
Tiptoe in silence
Holding inhaled breath
Fear heavy footsteps
Breaking through thin ice.

Hi Dawn, , :-) I'm taking this moment to wish you an early Happy Mother's day. Just in case, I can't hang around the soup past Saturday Night. May you enjoy all the blessings a mother engraves in our hearts. About your poem: walking on eggshells is not an easy thing to do, deep imagery... LOVE LINDA
