Boy and Bonnet

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…

 

Among the blossoms, bright and wide,

A boy walks by his mother’s side,

In his small hands, a bonnet light,

To crown her head with spring’s delight.

 

She smiles as he adjusts the bow,

Her eyes aglow with love’s soft glow,

In every thread and woven part,

A son’s devotion, mother’s heart.

          this has a very dated feel to it .. for a moment I thought Robert Herrick who I have a soft spot for .. but then it took off and I still liked it muchly .. Neville

          • arqios

            Herrick’s not all that bad, but I do get what you mean. 😊Every note you make is taken on board 👍🏻

            That’s very heartwarming and I’m sure all mothers feel the same. A very tender poem and nicely done.
