It Turned into a Book
Writing Relieves the Author of Stress-once She Starts She Writes More and Then it is Endless
it was just one page
The story was about her mother
And I was hooked in that one page
that she wrote.
I waited a few days and then checked
I smiled when I noticed
another page she wrote
about her mother who is 94 years young
I loved it!
There was a holiday and I missed writing
I did not read any others as well
I was happy to see that
there was another wonderfully
written article about her mother
who was ailing
I had to write to the author
I sent her a personal email
I told her how much I loved
what she wrote
and how much she loves her mother.
One day I noticed something else
I noticed that all of the
articles that I had read
and there were many more by this time
were bound into a book
and pictures of her mother added.
I wrote and told her how pleased I was
Her mother, at age 94 was beautiful
and loved by her daughter
and her son-in-law
and everyone who comes into her life!
Her mother is fortunate
others place their elderly mothers
in a nursing home.
Not this mother
She has the love and help
that she needs
by her loving daughter and
everyone else around her.
This is not her picture, but I asked for permission to use one of hers. When i receive it I am going to replace it.

Post a CommentSo beautifully written, and while using a poetic style. What a dedication to her. You've gotta let us know if you ever get the picture and replace it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! I love it! 5*
I would love to see her real picture! This article is sheer poetry! We all wanted my husbands father to live with us, he chose his youngest son who lived in Florida where it was warm and they were both very healthy. He suddenly and unexpectedly died just a few weeks after moving in.
This has particular meaning for all :)
So nice
Great Sondra!
Some of your article notices came into my mailbox today. I got a ton of notices and I am wading slowly through them.
Very nice, Sondra!
Great job Sondra.
Beautiful poem.
