on mother's day

 mother
 my most noble calling
noah
 a rare and cherished miracle

my mother
a choice blessing

an act of service
 jordan and liz,
soon to be married,
would be in need of furniture
 i offered
 they accepted.
we delivered to logan
  a bright red couch
a good idea
 means of bringing
 such a smile
 in my heart

 a message on my phone from chelle,
 "check your email."
 what a wonderful tribute
to our beautiful mother
 chelle, jenn and maddie
selected a dress
 from mom's closet
 and wore it to church
 in honor of mother
thoughtful

a real privilege
 of being with my mother
 and her mother
 at mallory and daniel's open house
 in draper
 i couldn't ask for a better
 mother's day
 nor a better mother
  *TRES BIEN

DULCET

 a "sweet favor"
for bride madeline
 little ziplock bag
 with sour patch watermelon candy
(a favorite of groom andrew)
 stamped with an adorable
peach "b" sticker
 became a "sweet favor"
 for the guests
thrilled to take part

NOSTALGIA

are these the little girls i carried
 sunrise, sunset
swiftly go the days

is this the little boy at play
i don't remember growing older
when did they

sunrise, sunset

*NOSTALGIA

*remembrance

WISTFUL

such beautiful irony
 maddie needed assistance
  in bridals of her own
 she was the very one that made bridals possible for me
the photos
stunning, absolutely stunning
*WISTFUL
*contemplative
