She Is a Silver Lining

There was no brilliance in the photo I took. No inspired flash as time's translucence caught up with us... Filtered past blinds, early Sun's elegance haloed her grey cloud curls, soft blurred the lines between past and presence I said: "Just tilt your head a little bit to the left.. Now where's that Smile?" Captured she is. In my heart's new album. Pocketed providence. With her Silver and Gold " pennies for thoughts..." In the photo she looks like a shy child aglow in the sunshine. After a storm. Posted: 7th November, 2019. Dedicated to my Mum. You've lived up to your names: Thelma Grace- "Willful, and Graceful..." It might take some time for a daughter to realize how many positive " life lessons " she has learnt from the First Woman in her life. I am grateful for your motherly mentorship. Never to be forgotten! I love you with all my <3.

A wonderfully fine dedication to the nurturing care and immense love and lessons that your loving mom bestowed upon you. Such as I myself think so oft of my mom. They give us life and teach us to live life. God bless... A fav.. a shining gem too..

She is full of life, and what I have come to live and appreciate about her, are her efforts to make peace with the past, and accept her children individually for who they are. I think when children can imagine what their parents have gone through in their lives, it helps to be empathetic, and not keep reacting like a rebellious teenager... :D (We become small children in the presence of our parents. :)) )And we can relate more easily, after becoming parents ourselves, and going through life's ups and downs... Thank you for your welcome visit and lovely comment! (((Hugs)))Aqua M.

I just wish it hadn't taken so long for us to get together again, and the visit is just too short... She is a feisty, adventurous lady - full of life and wanting to do her best as a Mum, and Nana. I admire her greatly! Thank you! I know you love your Mum very much too...Warm regards Aqua M.

Thank you, Caren! She's over here in SA for a brief visit, so I'm trying to catch up on lost time, it has been a while since we last saw each other. We are enjoying ourselves, sharing and caring...and she is very supportive of my creative ventures into poetry and art. I'm fortunate to have a Mum who is still proud of me. (i think a daughter will always appreciate that!) and thank you for your lovely comment!
