My mother came to me
Gathered me in her arms
And took me to the window
Look she said
There's the morning star
I soon gave over crying
For there it was alone
In the dawn sky
Bright and very beautiful
As beautiful as my mother.
~ Anne Porter
Posted by Monoceros at December 19, 2003 2:15 AMI was so surprised when I saw the photo. It brought back sweet memories and tears to my eyes...my little princess soon leaving home to begin her new life, my duty as a mother will be over. But you will always be my precious princess.
The poem touched me so deeply, the words so moving. It left me speechless for a while.
