| Posted by Glenn Currier on 10/01/09 at 05:02 PM Oh, Chris, what a glorious paen to your mother. How it is filled with gratitude and life multiplied from in the son from the sum a mother's love. The richness and hope in your poem is alight in the present darkness. May its spirit enliven you during this trying and difficult period. Blessings and peace to you and your parents, my dear friend. |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 10/01/09 at 10:42 PM It is unfortunate that time desends darkly on all things of beauty. One generation overseeing the vision of perpetuity in the next. Thoughtful, expressive and lovely, for love's sake alone. Thanks. |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 10/02/09 at 06:53 AM I can't say in mere words how much this poem touches me personally. My own mother is almost crippled from rheumatoid arthritis and this poem, especially that last stanza, speaks, no shouts to me of what I feel about my mother. Thank you Chris and I am so sorry for her having the fight of the dirge not yet broken by research! |

Your mother is in my prayers. |
