Be beautiful, baby…
.
the weekend,
the sun,
the heat
is upon us
with lists of things to do
separating me from you
in distance
in words you threw
with your inside pain
turned out
sometimes silence
sometimes…
something
so startling
needs
to sink in
to feel
real
sweet you were
all the days of your
young life
and now adulthood
has conferred its
strife.
I wish you peace,
I wish you
could feel
the love
I have for you
if only
the words of a mother
would do.

I luuuus this….Peace Jaz
Thank you, Jaz. Glad you like it. We moms can relate, can’t we?
Relax this weekend,
~ Lily
Oh yeah in a big way!!! Jaz
Words written so eloquently from the place of love… a mother’s or other will always do! Well written!

Thank you, Cat! Bee well.
(You see how we were on similar wavelengths today? Hmm.)

the words of a mother… this is good stuff!
Thank you kindly, sir. Have a happy weekend!

Have a great weekend, and thank you for your kind words. Daithi
We want so much to shield them. But we can’t. But the next best thing is to love them unconditionally. To always remember who is the adult here. And who is the child. What lucky children to have you as a mother Lily. Jx
Thank you, Janine. I so love my children; they know they have that, and in this world that is something. I know that you know how that is. Hugs, for you and yours,
~ Lily
Nice tender words to your daughter, Lily. Tom
Thank you, Tom. How are you, these days? I hope all is well!
~ Lily
This one will have meaning to mothers everywhere. It was lovely Lily 🙂
Thanks, Maggie. Lovely to have such compliments, coming from lovely you.
I hope all is well with you and your family!

Lovingly written, Lily…so full of peace. BTW, I’ve been doing ‘catch-up’, so I finally understand your comment re: ‘Bee with White Flower’! Yours is a beauty!
Ha, I think we were on the same flower/bee-beauty wavelength this weekend!
Peace to you, ~ Lily
