Your heartbeat changed the rhythm of my world the moment it echoed inside my womb. No other music could be more treasured after the sweetness of the Eternal Word. Like an enchantment dispelling all gloom, your heartbeat changed the rhythm of my world. What joys, what dreams your little heart unfurled in my own, swellingContinue reading “TO MY CHILDREN”

BELOVED (for WPC)
Last week’s challenge, Beloved, brought to my mind my husband and children. The photo above shows my youngest playing with his toy colander. He loves cooking. Each morning, he would dutifully take out the skillet, cooking oil, and spatula from their respective storage places and put them in my cooking area. He would help scrambleContinue reading “BELOVED (for WPC)”
A MOTHER’S HEART
A rose blooms for every soul born the mother’s heart is a garden expanding with each seed sown. Her heart is never divided into smaller portions, until it becomes crumbs doled out to begging mouths. Love is multiplied and her heart is given whole to each fruit of her womb. Daily Post: Baby Dverse Poets’Continue reading “A MOTHER’S HEART”
A MOTHER’S NIGHT
My broom dances to Yoyo Ma bowing a Bach prelude Dust and crumb puff and twirl sensing my happy mood With kids asleep, the night is mine the night is mine alone and I will dance and I will sing my broom as microphone Yoyo Ma will fiddle and bow he’ll fiddle all night longContinue reading “A MOTHER’S NIGHT”
MOTHER (for DVerse Poets’ Pub)
They wove violets and daisies on my hair saying, “You are quite beautiful and fair” what sweet words for the one who cleans their mess servant and queen, the life of a mother.

TO THE MOTHER OVERWHELMED BY MOTHERHOOD

Your tears are sprinkled in the heavens to light the night skies. When love weighs youContinue reading “TO THE MOTHER OVERWHELMED BY MOTHERHOOD”
IN BETWEEN (for Magpie Tales)
She’s in an in-between world living an in-between life – between childbirth and empty nest between dirty dishes and clean pressing buttons of the washing machine. There she is in the evening between days, old and new wondering how she got there, or how fast time flew and still got nowhere though she chased eachContinue reading “IN BETWEEN (for Magpie Tales)”
MOTHERHOOD
How lovely is that flower, Heaven claims her as its own. Her labor perfumes its gardens Her tears make its pillars tremble for from her bosom springs forth souls shaped by God in His image and likeness to eternity they are bound prisms of grace and beauty doled from the Creator’s hands. Favored are you,Continue reading “MOTHERHOOD”
RETREAT
When I don’t respond to anything you say don’t be mad, my mind is just away taking a little break from the day’s rigors in a few minutes, I’ll be back with some vigor. I don’t need to leave the comforts of home spend a fortune so that we could roam in places, then beContinue reading “RETREAT”
MOTHERS
Visions play before my eyes like a movie hale and brimstone of the mother kind a hurting child, crying alone wanting food, and shelter, the comforts of home a sick little one, without a mother’s care or one flattened by a bullet coming from nowhere I did not ask, but their terror is mine inContinue reading “MOTHERS”
