For Mother’s day. Memory of a Mother
Fault line of California.
Memory of a Mother
(I was raised by my stepmother Sonja.
A beautiful and wonderful lady who died too young.)
Names given are earned.
Not easy to become.
You were a mother to many.
You try to love all of us.
Errors made in a life haunted your dreams and life.
The good deeds overcame all your mistakes.
Mother and Mama. Sweet words spoken to a woman who loved her children.
You shall be to me.
Mama Sonja for your gift of love.

any one can mother, sometimes even a step mom, where moms can fail – to honour them is to be a son – there are no step sons.

i had a step mom too whom i liked and visits my dreams – she was no angel – she worked for her sons against my interests – but she never harmed me and gave what didn’t cost, friendliness to one who didn’t have one
