"All that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother." Quote by _ A. Lincoln I am on a long journey to see you today, it will take many hours on the bus mamma; I am bringing a flower bouquet bright and gay, promise, not to bore you with my melodrama. It will take many hours on the bus mamma, as I get close I feel our forever love; promise not to bore you with my melodrama, not to weep for beloved who left for above. As I get close I feel our forever love, on Mother's Day I wish to honor my sweet mom; not to weep for beloved who left for above, it will be a visit tranquil, serene and calm. On Mother's Day I wish to honor my sweet mom, I open the ornate gate and walk beneath trees; it will be a visit tranquil, serene and calm, at your grave I lay flowers falling to my knees. I open the ornate gate and walk beneath trees, I am bringing a flower bouquet bright and gay; at your grave I lay flowers falling to my knees, I am on a long journey to see you today.

Wow this pantoum flows just seamlessly and so well written as always in the most soulful manner. I love your refrains but the line that stood out for me is “ I open the ornate gate and walk beneath trees, I am bringing a flower bouquet bright and gay;“ so beautiful and thoughtful. Your love for your mother i feel deeply. Congratulations dear constance

a softly poignant poem written to honor your mother. Your words deeply touched me. I loved 'the ornate gate'. A wonderfully penned Pantoun. have a great evening, hugs, Sara
