“A wreath of rhymes wherewith to crown your honoured name”*

by chuckofish

It’s finally Friday and the sun is out, hopefully to stay through the weekend. Do you have something planned with your mother/grandmother/daughter/sister/aunt/family friend to celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday?

If so, that’s very nice, but you could also just sit quietly and look out the window and think about all those ladies who have meant so much to you over the years and about those ladies who meant so much to them.

My mother with her mother c. 1927…

Or you could read a poem, such as “Piano” by D. H. Lawrence:

God bless them all.
