Notes About The Poem

Our Happy Home


Long hours spent over the dirty laundry
Mum knew hard work
was something
worthwhile
with
sweet
flavors
providing
whispers of hope
within the borders of our happy home

Instilling hope is a precious talent of a good Mum, above and beyond all the other hard work she does. Your poem's beautiful nostalgia brings me to the center of this happy home, dearest Regina. Congratulations for your excellent win in Eve's contest.. ~Susan

Gina, what a lovely remembrance of your "mum" and the life lessons of service she taught you in the simple, humble work of her hands. Makes me think of a humble carpenter shop and the hands that created perfect wheels within the confines of a family and home! Congratulations dear friend on your win! May this season bless your home!

Thanks for sharing this, making me remember my dear Mama with her flat iron of charcoal. Thanks likewise for my placement in your recently judged contest. All the more, thanks for your friendship and I thank the Lord for such. God bless you.
