Messy BoysJibber jabber, pitter patter;
another one is screaming, now what's the matter?
Little feet, stinky feet,
how many rocks did you just eat?
Sticky hands, runny nose;
did you just pick your nose with your toes?
Booger picking, booger eating;
do we need to have another prayer meeting?
Messy house, stained up clothes;
with these three boys, anything goes.
Terrible two's and attitude;
where'd they...

Slow Down MommaSlow down Momma, I know it's hard,
but these are the times you'll miss by far.
Slow down Momma, the days may seem long,
but remember your children need you to be strong.
One more car seat to go, one more "terrible two's",
but you can enjoy these moments should you choose.
We push for the next chapter sometimes just...

Tourtiere - Canadian Meat PiesTourtière, true Canadian—
beef and pork browned well.
Mom always added breadcrumbs,
onions, celery,
and mashed potatoes,
spice blend too—
yum.

A Prince ForeverTo the world, he may just be a man,
Chasing dreams, with calloused hands.
But to her, he's the little boy still,
With scraped knees and a stubborn will.
She watched him stumble, watched him grow,
Held his fears she'd never show.
In her arms, he found his start—
A throne carved gently in her heart.
His crown? Not gold, but strands of...

Dearest Mom
How often, I remember when
Mom's voice washed away...all my fears
As duskfall traced our shadow-dance;
We peek- a- booed with laughing eyes
While fairy tales spoke of romance.
Fine the hands swerving along winds,
Sweet bedtime tunes lulled mellow nights
Tender age spilling revelries,
On my lap, tinsels wrapped moonlights.
Where whirled, catching the dew
Till evening swept like blue rainfall;
And we rolled on...

Left Unspokenbetween the words, silence spills, refracts
while a shadow trace the void you left
roots-entwined earth – too sacred to disturb
as arum lilies recall your grace

Womenthe women of my lifetime
are women of a lifeline
they teach me kindness from bright minds
the ones who
despite it all
are still planting seeds
in this ugly world
turning fields of greed
into fields of green
and hate into lovely words
and that's sisters, mothers
girlfriends, lovers
the ones who'll
smother us in hugs
when we're down in trenches
plagued by what's above us
the ones who...

To my mother
She's the closest thing to God I know
She's a giver of life, love
She's the music, the maestro
She brings the sun inside when it starts to rain
She finds the warmth inside the cold
Has a home if you need to stay
She's the one who guided us
Through all the forgotten years
The times that we would stumble
She...

THE NOTEBOOKI still see my mother
sitting at the kitchen table
copying out her favorite recipes
from the Women’s Weekly magazine.
With pen in hand,
she’d carefully write the recipe,
word for word in her notebook.
There are hundreds that
she collected over the decades.
That notebook, with its dog-eared pages,
crusty stains and side notes,
is now in my hands.
The thing is, I don’t cook—
my other...

Thinking Of You
Thinking of you in everything I do;
gratefully, deep thoughts of you live on.
You are so missed- yet, promise it is true-
until my days expire and I am gone,
live memories remain while I pursue
exclaiming, “Mom, I love you still,” each dawn.

my mamamy mama is not the women who made me'
my mama is the women who raised me
the one who taught me kindness, and patience
the one who taught me boundaries
and late night movies,
drinking coffee at 6 in the morning
on my way to a tournament
the one who always came to support me
the one who I replied on
the one...

Always ThereWhen skies were gray and nights were long,
You held my hand, you made me strong.
No need to ask, you always knew,
The quiet ways I needed you.
Through every stumble, fall, and fight,
You stood beside me, full of light.
A steady voice, a calming stare—
No matter what, you’re always there.
In whispered hopes and silent cries,
You saw the truth...

perfect momShe was a fabulous mother
A loyal wife, a devoted daughter
Selflessly helpful to those in need
She uplifted her family, friends, and neighbors
A good friend, a loyal citizen, devoted to God and her faith.
She was satisfied living through the adventures of others
They journeyed away from her, and she encouraged them from afar
She did not travel, and had...

MOM III can't really find the words
In my devastated heart to say just
How much I really miss you
It's so deep that it plagues
My entire soul
I miss your smile and laughter
Also, your get down dance moves
Your kind heart and kindled spirit
Drew people towards you
They were happy being around you
Your love for life and people
Was truly amazing, I...
