WELCOME!

This is a "first" for me, so I ask that you please bear with the initial set up and creation of this blog.....your patience and attendance here are appreciated!

This blog is intended as a personal project to share with you poems and daily quotations that were written by my mother. She was called "Home" in March of 2010, overtaken by lung cancer. I took on the task of opening her life through the treasures she left behind. In doing so, I came upon a box full of poetry that she had written over the years of my life, as well as her "daily quotes" that she would just jot down at a moment's notice.

My mother inspired my love for poetry from a young age, as well as assisting me in what I perceived as the challenge of writing my thoughts and feelings down on paper. From time to time you may notice a few of my own here, nestled gently in with hers.

I hope that you enjoy what you find here.....feel free to share them, for this is my gift to her and you; the pleasure, comfort and at times humor in the writings of another.

EVERMORE

I listen keenly to the breezes
blowing gently at my door;
Blowing gently through the willow
blowing gently evermore

Sitting there beside the window
watching moon upon the shore;
Hearing breezes blowing gently
blowing gently evermore

Heed how sweetly leaves do rustle
on the willow, side my door;
Tousled gently by the breezes
blowing gently evermore

Speaking softly on the breezes
a voice of love from days of yore;
Whisper tenderly on the breezes
blowing gently evermore

Combing tresses changed to silver 
as I listen just once more;
To the breezes blowing gently
blowing gently evermore

Hands that tremble, eyes that flutter
ears that soon will hear no more;
But the breezes will continue
blowing gently evermore
