In my opinion, an exceptional feat, this stunning poem and your 29 others. I appreciate your gift, this one is special indeed - its rhyme and rhythm so smooth and easy in flow, it's such a pleasure to read - certainly a tribute to all you hold dear and a poem they will enjoy reading to be sure...

    Please don't concern yourself about replying immediately - we all have busy lives, and the fact you were still able to complete 30 poems in 30 days is both impressive and eviable. You are very welcome, Christine, my pleasure and definitely my congrats for your accomplishment - although I do try to write daily, it is a challenge which I am usually unable to complete. Again, my congrats...Eve

So beautiful, Christine. I can see how your father's influence on your poetry still shines through, at least I imagine it that way.

A most heartfelt tribute to your mother, and I wish you all the best in the voting booth on this most challenging project.

Superb! I hope you don't return to only posting once a week though.

Gloria

Lovely poem and notes, Christine. Very moving.
I love my mum, but unfortunately she has dementia and even though she still knows me perfectly she's like a little girl. My dad passed away 20 years ago.
My husband and my three children are my whole world.
I have one sister, but even though we used to be very close, we hardly ever talk now.
Thanks for sharing and congratulations on finishing the challenge. I was only able to write a few poems as I don't have enough time.

That is a lovely poem, Chrissy, a tribute to everyone is your life. You really have been blessed with wonderful family and friends. I'm sure they feel the same for you. I wish I still had my mother with me, and my father, but I'm sure they will be waiting for me when it's my time. Enjoy them all for as long as you can, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

I enjoyed your poem from beginning to very end. I can and do relate to everything that is said. You write from your heart and this reader has strong positive reaction to these posts and their poetry. I happen to think poetry is meant to be shared in this way. Thank you for sharing your poem. Kat

What a great way to end an April writing challenge with a poem befitting of the upcoming May's Mother's Day. This poem is specific enough to be a tribute to you own mother and universal enough for Hallmark to come calling.

What a wonderful, warm woman you must be, Christine. You write so well about your love for your family. I've enjoyed this NaNoWriMo challenge with you. I maybe short on the poem quantity, but I have learned so much, and met a lovely person as yourself. Thank you!
