Paula Swanson Poet Senryu

Now I Understand

Now I understand
unconditional pure love
so mom, I thank you

For your tender touch
the times you had to be tough
lessons in respect

But most of all mom
the sacrifices you gave
willingly of heart


For the contest:  Senyru For Mom
Sponsored by Francine RobertPlacement: 10th
