| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 02/14/07 at 04:39 PM Sweetest tribute in the reading... truly songful and so dear with the richness of combining the etymological with personal roots and realization-- that bring into clear light the love of a daughter for a beautiful mother. |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 02/14/07 at 04:59 PM A loving tribute and how wonderful to recognize the value of speaking another's name and the meaning of a name...and how it fits the person so well...you are amazing in the gift of love and poetry. smh |

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 02/14/07 at 08:34 PM Lovely, lovely, Kristina. Your final stanza is just perfection to this piece. Kipling wrote, "If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o'mine, O mother o'mine!" Excellent write. Thanks.
