My Spiritual Mom

Mom’s Bible stories 
my first words inspired to be. . . . 
that Jesus loves me

her best-loved motto -
what’s next to godliness. . . . 
eight kids cleaning up

feasting on Scriptures
strong in mind, body and soul. . . . 
Mom might outlive us

For Francine Robert's 
"Senryu for Mom" Contest

I actually missed writing for this one-- but I really like how you did yours, I can relate to this so much, my mom is also very spiritual-- I remember you saying something about her singing to God in the fields? That sure must be so awesome to hear that! Lovely way to write about your mom, Andrea-- has this contest been judged? Will email you a bit later ok? Sorry it took me some while to catch up on your poetry-- & eeo here I go missing again... hugs to you :)
