Clear as Now (from a so far but here prompt Mary offered)

So long ago, yet clear as now
the moments you were new.
Your own babies are two already
and I blink, still seeing you
tiny, the first time I carried you
into the door of this house.
Wonder of that beginning
has borne fruit beyond imagination.
Decision to start a generation,
so long ago, yet clear as now.

    Lovely poem of one generation to another, Victoria. New family life begins, and right in the SAME house!

    What a great Mothers Day poem. I felt a desire to write one but nothing came. I think your poem has inspired me.

    Wonderful poem from this prompt, Victoria. I love the image of so long ago, but clear as now. Universal mother's poem.

    What I love most about Mother's Day, to reflect back on the beginning.
