A mother’s love for her child is often described as one of the most powerful and unconditional forms of love. It’s a bond that begins from the moment of conception and continues throughout life. This love is nurturing, protective, and forgiving; it’s a constant source of comfort and support. Here’s a short poem that captures the essence of a mother’s journey with her cultural pride in tact on flamboyant display! Happy Mothers Day!

I Love You Mother

May your days be filled with happiness, joy and laughter Always know I love you, a poem is what I’ll gift forever after You’re in my heart and soul, as a child and as I mature then grow old I cherish our memories, your motherly love, from sunrise to sunset forever more My mother’s eyes of ebony, sparkling stars Carefully, she tints her lips gypsy red A cascade of flowing ringlets, her hair shines from afar Muscatels quaint yellow ribbons a lovely corona spread Slipping on an elaborate Norteño style flared dress Exquisite ruffles swirl and billow before her rapt audience Instructor of folkloric dance, a god given talent unique no less Her blithe unbounded spirit, free as a mariposa Images of her forever I keep, radiant and hermosa

Oh, Anaya, I love this dedication to your dear Mom. Also her pictures. It is great to know that she has been an instructor of folkloric dance. Your 'thumb- nail' description of her has given us an idea of her external appearance and her vibrant personality. I believe your mother is still alive. How happy she will be to read this beautiful dedication from her loving daughter.

My sister texted me the picture, I felt compelled to post a Mother's Day poem. I'm OK if you enjoyed it, David my friend. Sorry to hear about your mommy. My sister also mentioned she posted it on her FB that was nice of her. Thank you for the fave :D Cheers!

What a magnificent tribute to your mother. Cherish her. I lost mine over twenty years ago. So I can relate to your poem in a way. Blessings.

Beautiful lady, beautiful tribute. After I read this I realized I don't have a single photo of my mother. Weird

I'm so sorry to hear that Tom, say a prayer for her, lord knows they have prayed for us. It's an experience that I would not like to think about. I'm enjoying the years we had and are having. My mother is always praying for me (she's always tells me) I'd like to give that gift back, when the time comes.

Dear Anaya, this is such a wonderful tribute to your darling mum my lovely. Isn’t she stunning! I love how you have captured her beauty not just as a mother but as an exquisite dancer too. You must have had a great childhood. Wonderful memories to cherish. I love the last line especially. So touching. Thank you for sharing. Puts a big smile on your face and warmth in the heart. Hugs and blessings to you both xx

Dear Anaya, This is a very touching memorial to your mother. The art of dance instruction is very remarkable. Those with such skill sets have the unique opportunity to assist others in making sense of their immediate vicinity.

It made sense to my lively childhood dear SP because I was a part of the ballet folkloric. Thank you for your visit, and sentiments. Hugs

Anaya, A beautiful tribute to your mom. Dance instructing is a wonderful thing. People who do that get to help others understand the space around them...there are not secrets as they understand body language perfectly.

Duke you are very generous with comments and compliments today! :D You are too kind! She is and was many things, dancer, beautician, admissions & records at CSUN University until retirement. I'm so proud of her and she is still with us. Photo taken in December/23.
