Mother

You're a mentor, a teacher, a fountain of stories and song, you're my memories and my foundation. You're the deepest love and the safest harbour. Sometimes I want to walk backwards up the birth canal and nestle in your womb, swim in your amniotic fluid, reconnect to the umbilical and be happy inside you. Sometimes I just want to hear your voice or have you say everything will be okay.

Mother is all in all for any child in the world. Above all, there is no equivalent to mother's love as she is god like in human form. Nice to read you great piece on mother!

A sweet sentiment penned in tribute to what sounds like a near-ideal mother! I hope that she is still living, and I'm certain you're following in her footsteps. Happy Mother's Day to you (mine has passed away.) On a humourous note, RE: Line 9: There is a screen-printed teeshirt which says, 'Sometimes when I open my mouth, my mother comes out.' !

A most fitting poem for Mothers Day. You have, I think, a sincere love for your mother, and express it with 'if' clauses-'if I had a shop you'd be my best customer'. I personally like long lines across the page, as you have here. They are my favourite form. Until two years ago, I lived for 25 years in New Lynn, Auckland, and used to drive up to the Hibiscus Coast quite often.

So true, we only ever have one mum, and that she means so much.
