Mom and I, Mother’s Day Eve, 2017.

A long time coming–
I can look at you
And see peace
Instead of a past
That haunted me.
You are changing, trying
To mother a grown woman
And I allow it.

After all, we
Both have been
Yearning to heal.
Strength has kicked
Down our doors–
Now is the right time
To grow.

I will follow
If you’ll lead
Me in the direction
That will keep us
On sure paths.
Life is short.

Let’s make the rest
Of it
Sweet.

Mothers: A very Happy Mother’s Day to each of you. Peace and blessings.
