Notes About The Poem

Mother

Her laughter colors my heart in soft hues Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Love and grace combine in sweet praises Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her joy is reflected in a tangerine sun’s glow Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Precious serenity soothes my melancholy dreams Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her gentle insight murmurs peace to my senses Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Lovely assurance that this hope brings a sweetness Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her promise of affection comforts the darkest thoughts Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Breathing silence through the heart and soul, reflecting Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her caress clings to memory with a sense of inspiration Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Sharpening the feelings felt with prayers and psalms Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her encouragement graces visions with vitality and strength Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Heavenly aspirations sing melodies to my spirit Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her quiet voice eases all the pain and sadness Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Hallowed sighs drift in on the birth of a wind’s song Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her devotion rests on the darkness in starlight Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Drinking in brilliance raised from a simple truth Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been Her hands are like feathers caressing a child Butterfly kisses whisper on my skin Reflections of hope, faith and love inspire her life Spreading kindness and light wherever she’s been

Only a mother dear Gina knows how to give the best butterfly kisses. Perhaps it rests on the thought that their pure love for the child, surpasses all understanding. Thank you for your gentle touch, you never fail to make my day that much better, lOve xo
