 "Friend Like a Mother"

A Gift to Please a Special Person

to  featured poem



Artist's Comment: co-written by my wife sheila and myself, she laid the framework of words and feeling-intent, i played with the rhythms

though the link above to "rhythms" gives a nice range of example meanings, i do feel they left out referencing dance and art

in my painting, "central park record cold," though it wasn't intentional from the first brush stroke, once the bulk of the image was on the canvas, i definitely, by visual feel, try to consciously create an interesting flow both among the trees and among the buildings in the background, then between the two flows to each other

in much the same way, once sheila had the frame up on paper, i played with the sounds between some of the words, some alliteration, tiny changes, fun stuff  :-)

"the act of giving your thoughts to one you love can be as important as
the thought itself"  -  adan





Friend Like a Mother


Frightened or uncertain,
or just plain too head strong,
your caring carried me
places in one piece.
Your voice would carry
your love.  Soothing.
Yet girding me.
And now,
though I still get
frightened, unsure, or just
plain too set, your caring still
heals.  Your own caring has
taught me more than just
books.  You've shown
me what it took
to care.

Special notes:

The text presented in the photo example below is how we print, a more cursive pretty font that won't reprint well here.

Also, we adjust the font size of the title, copyright, personalization, to fit both the writing itself, and the constraints of the mat opening (window) of the 8x10's we use.
