My Mother’s Voice



I hear her voice all the time
“Take a jacket. Speak slowly.

Be careful. Is that your best choice?”
Words that kept me on track
kept  me safe long after I’d grown.
I hear her voice when I speak to my children

a mixture of strict with lots of wisdom
encouragement and sounding board

a wake-up call when they sleep too long
a voice filled with laughter 
filling their life with love.
