In memory of my mother, Jacqueline

___________________

Mother had me when she was just a young woman, at birth I was her baby- then her girl; but, things soon changed, I became- friend. We talked and shopped, gardened, laughed and we took short trips, mother had an adventurous spirit; we spent many long hours on country roads, it was fun to get lost and find a special place. I often ask God why he took my mother, so young to Heaven? But, still treasure those sweet moments ! ______________________ February 5, 2021 Poetry/Verse/Mother Was My Friend Copyright Protected, ID 02-1326-344-05 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, Fragmented Verse sponsor, Emile Pinet, Judged 03/04/2021 Third Place

Oh woww...a mother's role in a child's upbringing, till she herself becomes one and beyond that... it is just incomparable.. a mother's patience and perseverance well captured dear friend, though this is sad and emotional dear friend. I wish to fav this gem. Hugs ~ Ani
