Celebrating Mothers

A Sonnet for My Incomparable Mother

by Joanna Fuchs

A Mother-Daughter Moment

A Grandmother-Granddaughter Moment

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.

I am a mother now, and so I know

Hard work is mixed together with the fun;

You learned that when you raised me long ago.

Three Generations of Love, Spring 2011

I think of all the things you gave to me:

Sacrifice, devotion, love, and tears,

Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul--

All these you spent on me throughout the years.

Three Generations of Spunk, last year 2010
How is it my mother looks the same and I keep looking older and older (and not wiser, might I add)?

You loved me with never-failing love

You gave me strength and sweet security,

And then you did the hardest things of all:

You let me separate and set me free.

Baby Bear on Mother's Day 2010

Everyday, I try my best to be

A mother like the mom you were [are] to me.

For my Awa.  I love you so very much.  Happy Mother's Day!
