My Mom
Not Always an Easy Relationship
Gets stuck on things
Some things more important it seems
Than a daughter's feelings.
BUT always
Cares deeply
And shows always
What love is.
Love is
Patient
Kind
Goes beyond itself
Not boastful
Protecting
Steadfast
Hopeful
This is my mom
Not perfect
But steadfast in her love.
I am Grateful.

This is a five minute Friday post. the word prompt is brought to us by Miss Kate. What is Five Minute Friday? Well it's a party of a group of like
minded folks who gather on Friday to do a five minute free write around a
singular word. AND THEN (and this is the most important part) we take the time to offer up encouragement to
each other on this writing journey. It's fun, though it's not always
easy, but it is always good. Come join us won't you? You are always
welcome.
I love it! I'm always amazed at how you can make words flow. Wonderful picture of your mom.
