child's bright idea:
"Mommy, take the doll shopping
for my Mother's Day
~~~
florist son
too busy to call her
on Mother's Day
~~~ along the creek bank, 2005

two-thousand-six
first Mother's Day
without her
~~~
on the front porch
in my Mother's Day lawn chair
first rain in a month
~~~
a week late
the unsigned Mother's Day card
from my youngest child
~~~on the same page, 2006

two-thousand-seven
second Mother's Day
without her
~~~a bird calls at dusk, 2007
