A faded photograph of mom..

though memories of touch are faded,
they awaken gently with
aroma of fresh baked bread
the whirr of a sewing machine,

and every time I peel an apple or pear.

Your birthday today is as special 

as my own, my children, my grandson

and all of my loved ones.

Happy Birthday, my very special mother!

You are so very deeply missed and always in my heart.
