Thinking about two mothers today; my own mom and her best friend. Here’s a fun little poem I wrote about the two of them in 2013.
Two Friends
Back in the 50’s
When life was pretty good
In NE Mpls up sprang
A special neighborhood.
Children gathered daily
Going outside to play
Fathers off to work
Moms at home to stay.
Friendships were forming
…Everyone was new…
Some lasting fifty years or more
Wow – who knew???
Two special families
Lived across the street
Two special women
Destined to meet.
Raising their children
Having driveway coffee breaks
Always checking on each other
Vacationing to many lakes.
Their daughters grew up
Becoming lasting friends
Sharing McKinley Street stories
No more playing pretend.
Marriages, then grandkids
Time was marching on
But playing Bridge and having lunch
Kept their connection strong.
Four years ago God took the first
And now He’s taken the other
But memories will linger on
Loving memories of our mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day Kari.

Celebrating the goodness of the gift of connections, in family and neighbors
(and connection to you and your family!)
Thank you for sharing the wonderful bible verse.
I celebrate with you the goodness of connection to you and your family!
What a beautiful poem! Hope your mothers day is as wonderful as you are.
Ah, thanks Barb.
I hope you are having a great Mother’s day as well.
So beautiful 🥲
