To All The Mother’s Around The World...

by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

You wake me with a hug...
As the sun begins to rise...
You ask if I slept well...
Wipe the sleep from my eyes...

You dress me for school...
In all my favorite clothes...
You tell me I look just perfect...
As only a loving mother knows...

Breathe

by Estelle Jackson

In... out... in... out.
A reflex. Refresh, relax.
Breathe in clean, cool air.
Breathe in calm. Breathe in light.
Still the crazy cacophony
Of chaotic, cascading thoughts.
From the lucid to the tangled,
Push them out and sit for now
While we reboot.
Make space to be. To rest. To breathe.

Hope Come Sunrise

by Karen Jansta

In twilight hours

Anxiety lurks below an ocean tide

Like kelp against a swimmer's skin

Lapping up against a mother's hope.

Sun rises.

The Impossible

by Estelle Jackson

It is very difficult;
Verging on impossible.
But that which seems impossible
Must be made possible.
I must do it
For us both.
A time of change;
A time of growth.
Take all that I have
And all that I am.

If

by Estelle Jackson

If my love were enough...
You would rise with each new dawn
And fly on soundless wings;
Soar high above the earth
Released from Time and Things.

If my love were enough...
We could catch a wave and travel;
Riding on currents, mum and daughter -
To see the beauty and splendour

Do You Know

by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Do you know how much I love you
Even though we live apart...
Do you know how much I miss you
And always have right from the start...

I’m sorry your Mom and I used to argue...
But there’s one thing on which we both agree...
We truly love you with all our hearts...
You mean the world to her and me...

We Need To Teach Our Children

by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

The children are our future...
We need to teach them all...
We need to show them how to be kind...
To help others if they should fall...

It’s the adults from which our kids learn...
We need to teach them to not judge others...
To teach our children to be tolerant...
To accept all our sisters and brothers...
