Mothers' Day Haiku

Last week I received the following as a gift. I am humbled.

Beautiful, we wed
In struggle she gives birth thrice
Shepherdess of lambs

Not comparable
This mother of devotion
The one I married

Love burns bright before
Love shines bright in reflection
In four faces, mine and theirs

Evangelista
Instructor, Enforcer, yet
Lover, sweet as wine

Cataract of love
Wash over three blonde heads
Recedes to my arms

What a wonderful mother's day gift this was! Is this from Elena? How precious this is. Thanks for sharing.

Please disregard my last comment. I read it over again, and realized that it must have been from John. How sweet! My husband brings me food.

More joy,
Lynne
