Summer Mother Sun

We visited a short while for Father's Day weekend last month, had the chance to bring our moms together and celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary, 23 years together. No more Chart House, we delighted in a lovely lunch at Liberty House. Our moms are in their eighties, and with every visit, they move a little more slowly than last. Truly a gift to spend time with our moms and have them connect with each other too.

the sun radiates
she shines and embraces
everyone and everywhere

she does not distinguish
between white and brown
she provides light to all

she is hope that believes 
in joyful connection
families along the shore
children splash and thrash in the pool

the sun kisses every forehead,
every cheek,
every shoulder

every day, the sun wakes
and shares her beams
gives source 
to every living and just being
