harbor-refuge
should any storm-of-life Dare-threaten!---Exempler!...Sacred Class-act!
Beautiful!
Intelligent! Reverent! Understanding! Forgiving! Supportive! Impeccable-housekeeper! Gourmet-chef! All-knowing! Ever-present!
Forever-there to make-the-Best-of-it!
Thanks!
Mom!
For “any & every” sacred-holy “all-of-it” absent “accusation-blame”! Trust!
A “Truth”-foundation---A
life of Family-focused emotion-devotion!...Liberty-Freedom Love!
When I wanted to be a real-life “cowboy”
at tender age-of-5, Mom outfitted her “idea”-bound son with jeans, a western
shirt, cowboy-hat, western black-boots (she painted the white-insets with shoe
polish craftily utilizing a toothpick), holstered six-shooters, a lariat and
sacred encouragement to Dare-dream
(the-bigger/the-better). Both parents “helped” and mentored my lawn-mowing
indoctrination at 6 years-of-age; they did most of the work, but I learned the value of labor and the virtue of
satisfaction in a job-well-done! Mom
encouraged my “construction” attempt to build a “pigeon”-coup; I secured a
truck camper-shell some guy wanted to discard; the void at the bottom I filled
with old-bricks from Grandma and my birds enjoyed a pleasant cage.
While Dad taught me “How” to
hunt and fish, the responsibility of
weapons and the appreciation and respect of Mother Nature, Mom bar-b-qued a gourmet-feast at the outdoor fire
pit on a bed of oak and hickory coals resultant of a well-laid fire Dad had built at ole Fox Lake.
That same 5-acre mirrored lake where
years later I romance-read
poetry-rhyme to sweetheart Lovely-Lady
Candice Leah, so very much sacred-Blessed
with the same attributes of Mom!
(And---Oh! Yeah!...I did allow fair-damsel to “row”…Always…a “Gentleman”?) P.S.-It worked!
Fair!
& Just! Mom
forever insisted on these qualities. Kind!
Christian-Generous! to-a-fault!
They say that boys marry girls like
their mothers---Thank God!...I am
exceedingly so Blessed!
At holy-mass as I contemplated the
priesthood (Wow!?) I would
concentrate on the Honor-statue of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother-of-Jesus,
and in her lovely face---see…Mom! Amen!
Thanks!
Mom!
For all-of-it---and, more…for life-Love
important-lessons exemplar-taught.
Mother!
(a
Loving-limerick)
Pray I might be a
parent Good as holy-Thee
Embrace-the-adventure!
Cherish-serendipity
Mentored-Truth absent Worry & Fear emotion
Exemplar:
Fear-not! & Follow-Me! Devotion!
Salute!
God! Mother! Freedom!-born-of-Liberty!
Amen!
Happy
Mother’s Day!
(Today
& everyday!)
Love, Carl Edward
