Joanne

Joyful memories of a young mom dancing,
Often music blended with laughter.
Always loving and beautiful, she is still.  
Never less than a devoted mom.
Nights I fell asleep next to her twirling
Endless locks of her long, brown hair.

The mood is set, the admiration is clear the picture painted with strokes of a loving brush.

this is so beautiful, rhonda. simple and yet more touching to me than many I have read, I think for the personal touch at the end of it.
