No wonder


Mom and me

I see in my face, yours--the eye, the nose, the chin.
Your upturned hand where a damsel had rested.
Is it any wonder,
you were my mother?

Sometimes the nicest posts are simple and sweet and say volumes in a single photo, a few words…and a lovely memory.

Thank you for sharing this. You have captured it all!

What a beautiful tribute to your mother. And, you do resemble her very much. Looks like she was having a relaxing day in the boat. Have a nice day.
