Thank you Michelle H Barnes and Kenn Nesbitt for the October prompt of writing a poem to and for your mother.  I have written other poems that have my mother in them, but never this one.  I guess I feel like she's been gone long enough to write it, but now I wish she'd known that I realized all she'd done for us.  So, though belated, and I can't see her face as she reads this in Heaven, here it is, for You, Mom: Change of Heart I cannot imagine A stronger woman, wife, mother.

No Time for a Poem Porridge for breakfast, Spaghetti-Os for lunch, Hot dogs and broccoli For dinner to munch; Throwing the frisbee, Endless sweet talk, Seeing a deer On a long walk; Puzzles and cars, Winnie the Pooh, Books and paint brushes, Laughter and glue!

Nancy Drew Anthology is now available on Amazon in paperback.  My poem, "The Missing Mother's Message" is right in there with other poems from other poets.
