I really enjoyed learning from this freestyle poem you carefully presented with good descriptions and an easy to follow layout and presentation. Your teaching in this poem has much value and I like the idea of 'sunshine friends,'--I have many of those I believe. This really spoke to me today. Practical wisdom in a well-received poem. I would recommend it at a good rate. Maybe some fine-tuning needed to help it adjust in length, but you managed to hold my attention. Best,

This is really nice, Diane. You don't hold anything back and the advice from your mother tells us so much about you.

And who can't love this all with a fine bouquet of flowers.

Well done you and I wish you much luck with the Contest Committee. :)

Gloria

Oh, My. What a wonderful card of joy and remembrance this truly is, m dear friend. You expressed everything so well. Unbelievable. You are fortunate to have known a mother. Mine died when I was very young. So was she...only 40. People who do not appreciate their mothers should be punished. I will never understand.

Fantastic writing Diane. Happy Mother's Day. X Bob

    Hello Bob!
    I am honored by your exceptional rating and thoughtful review.
    I am sorry to learn of your mother's passing at such a young age...
    My mother was 84 when she passed away, but even that age seemed to young for her to leave...
    Thank you!

This is an absolutely exquisite poem! I hardly know where to begin. I suppose I'd say how fortunate to have a mama like that. And then how fortunate your children too. What a family legacy! Well done! Best of luck with the mother's day contest!

Wow! This is so well done, and, as you say in your notes, done your way. Through your words, you have welcomed us into the heart you shared with your mother. What marvelous lessons she taught you. And, your responses are beautiful and moving. I love how you build to a crescendo, and a finale, with your last two verses. This is written so tenderly with humor built in for good measure. You have introduced us into your secret world with your mother, and I feel blessed to be welcomed in.
Take care, Jesse

    You are so lucky and privileged to have a mother with a dynamic force in your life, and the lives of your children. Her influence lasts forever. You are a testimony to that fact. The review and stars are well deserved.

This is absolutely beautiful work Mrs. KT. It's an Awesome ode to your mother that's expressive, passionate, and infused with great feeling and emotions. Your mother sounds like a wise woman and gave sound advice worth listening to. I know that we as children were just in a hurry to grow up. Most of us thought we had it figured out until we were finally out on our own. A reality check and a rude awakening were bunkmates. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written offering. Very well done!

All good moms sound somewhat alike...mine lived from 1923 to 2011.
Excellent post for mother's day. I wonder if they make moms like those anymore...growing up in a depression, maturing in a war...

Mother's advice--sometimes heeded, sometimes not. As we grow older, we appreciate our mother's wisdom even more. Great work with the pieces of advice your mother imparted, and whether or not you heeded them. A beautiful bit of wisdom that we never have enough time in life to do all the things we want to do. This is beautifully written, and best of luck in the contest. judi

This is a beautifully touching piece. Wise words from mother to
daughter. Many echo my own mothers advice.
I love the one about lilacs; Mine are just now starting to bloom.
This is a lovely tribute to your mother. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.
Nancy
