It is interesting to trace
generations of mothers
my father was his mother’s favorite
my mother orphaned when she was youngattempted to become a super mom
wanting what her mother-in-law created
a house full of children but sometimes
she became overwhelmed didn’t know how to create order from chaos
always seeking that magic touch to let
every child know they were loved.

I restricted my family to two plus one
they got along most of the time
found that large extended family
through my work but in the end
it was my children who gave me
they got along most of the time
found that large extended family
through my work but in the end
it was my children who gave me
the greatest happiness
and the grandchildren they brought
through the women they married,
strangers in every way
except, they are the mothers
of my grandchildren and
as a result
sacred in a special way.
