I sit and watch her as she sleeps. She’s so tired these days age has taken it’s toll. I really am so grateful to her though the loyalty and love she shows me is far beyond wealth. She would follow me to the ends of the earth and truly so would I her. Oh! She’s stirring now, bless her first action is to look for me.
love is her nature devotion is her default she’s my staff and stay full of dreams of youth and play she lightens my load always.

I also want to wish those who not mothers by choice or not a happy day to . So a happy day to all women .
Seriously have a good day. I am a mum, a mother in law and grandma plus an honourary mum not forgetting I am a mum to a fur baby too. My family spoiled me yesterday in honour of today.
Sadly my mum and mother in law are no longer with me infact I lost my mum over twenty years ago. My mother was a gentle woman, loving and kind, her favourite flowers were Anemone, I have written a Nonet about her and her flowers because I miss her.
Always small yet colourful Never over assuming Elf like colour pools Mother loved these flowers Open bright and blooming Nothing pleased her as these Enchanting little Anemones.
My Mother in law was an amazing woman, she never let anything get in the way of what she wanted to do. She lived to one hundred, she beat cancer twice in her eighties and nineties! She died of Covid in 2020 a wonderful example to us all.
My Abhanga is in praise of a new day and is inspired by the video below. The song by Imogen Heap, Xizi She Knows is in praise of the dawn and shows a city waking to a new day. The old man doing Ti Chi at the beginning and the older lady who throws her arms wide and screams her greeting to the dawn, (just before the shot of people throwing leaves off of a bridge) and the man with the gold flag are the shots that truly lift my soul.The whole video is a joyful greeting to the day.
In praise of the New Day.
We greet the new morning Full of bright new promise Energy slow release A brand new day.
Time stands frozen and still A city wakes, eyes wide Roads are filled, rivers plied Worship the sun
Collars turned to the cold Hats and gloves combat chills Birds fill the air with trills Covered in frost.
Another chance to breathe God give us a new day And a push on our way Praise be, thank you.
Here we are on Saturday and our host LindaGHill has set up our SoCs prompt : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “close eyes and point.” Grab the closest printed material to you when you sit down to write your post, open it up (if it’s a book, flyer, etc.), close your eyes, and point. Whatever your finger lands on, use that as your prompt. Have fun!
Thanks. The nearest printed matter was a card from our middle son. I followed the instructions to a T. What I ended up with was THANKS. Well what can I do with that I asked myself, well I can celebrate it. Funnily enough it’s cropped up a lot this week. Firstly the card.
From our middle son, thanking us for helping him achieve something he never thought he might.
Then there were the flowers from hubby as a thanks for looking after him while he has been unwell.
Then there was the phone call from eldest son who said Thanks so much for being an ear and shoulder while he got through isolation and Covid the other week, miles away and on his own.
Just when I thought I was thank you’d out I got this what’s app from youngest son.
[05/11, 07:48] Hi Mum, I was thinking you of you this week. Especially when I was ironing the boys school shirts Thanks for doing mine for all those years 😊
Well I thanked them all and I have to admit they all made me feel a million pounds, so I made sure I thanked them back .
Such a tiny word Yet it means so very much It lifts the spirits.
Colleen Chesebro said : “As we enter December… let us give thanks for everything we’re received this year.”
It’s the first of the month and you know what that means! Word Crafters, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you! This opportunity only happens once a month!
I chose a shadorma to show how truly grateful we can be for togetherness.
This week, Kat Myrman, from Like Mercury Colliding, selected the words:
I have written about the world as it is today. I am asking nature to help my children and grandchildren, everyone else’s too. We would be so grateful if we could have a better world. I have used synonyms for the two prompt words as well as counting my syllables.
Imagine & Gratitude
A Life where Thankfulness Is not a dream But reality. Let’s make believe it’s true No war,plague, famine or hate. In my dreams I hear you saying Is it too much to picture real peace. I would really appreciate normal
I do not want to upset anyone but as we draw near to Rememberance Day I just wanted to share my feelings on the poppies we wear. I wrote this back in 2018.
There are more than one, these days, the red to remember the dead, the white for peace. The white to remember the conscientious objector. During WW1 and WW2 many thought these men were cowards. I do feel they were brave, enough to stand up for their beliefs. Many were tried and shot for not taking up arms. Many spent the war as medics and stretcher bearers unarmed or in the mines though of course not all wartime miners were objctors.
What ever you think, the wars killed them irrespective of their principles. I respect the Red and the White.
The Red and the White.
Why
Argue
Both were brave
Each had their own
Principles to up
Hold. Neither less than bold.
One would carry a weapon
The other a stretcher, no gun
Both men died for their own held beliefs
They were both lost and that loss brought much grief.
———
Then there is the Purple Poppy in remembrance of all the animals who died in service during conflicts and serve with us still in modern conflicts.
They pulled the gun carriages until they dropped
They carried messages and they got shot.
They search out the unexploded mines
They save lives a thousand times.
Spare a thought for the horse, pigeon, donkey dog and many more
