Smiling Charmed

Seeing you standing there what to do? I smile to bridge the gap, you have grown, by plane I have crossed a continent to atone. There's been too many harsh words, tirades overblown. My son, please come, I mean you no harm. He crosses to my arms. Smiling, charmed. Date:5/18/14 Deborah Guzzi Contest:TROIS PAR HUIT A BRIDGE

Debs, read my footnote under that Mother goose poem. It explains who the "real" mother goose is. The people in boston visiting her grave are visiting a grave that does not truly represent the real mother goose, just someone with that name who came up with a few rhymes of her own!! Yes, our special times in life produce some of our best poetry.

A reconciliation of a mother and son is a heartwarming scene. Love is so magnanimous coming from a Mother. This is so touching.

Dear Deb, I'm so glad you and your son have been reunited. It must have been hard to have him so far away. Just put the harsh times behind you and you may find the happiness together that I have just recently found again with my sister. Yes, we should talk soon. I would like that. I may go to the UK in October. Are you making any travel plans? Love, Carolyn
