What a beautiful tribute to our Mother! Thank you for speaking so eloquently about our connection with her and the loving stewardship that entails.

A poem that matters, is lyrically beautiful, and moving.

Thank you, Jack. That means a lot coming from you. 🙏🏼 I don’t really consider myself a poet, but I’m committed to giving poetry a try. 😊

This poem had a surprise twist. It's initial rhythm drew me in, into a comfortable space, only to be reminded of the harsh truth we so often see. One of power and control. A posture that we (men in general) think will offer us comfort, yet brings death.
