Ode to my mother on Mother’s Day

By Dianna Yalouris Christakos

I miss you

In the solitude of the day you come to me as a whispering caress

And when the day ends

A tightening in my heart reminds me that you are gone

I miss you

In the exuberance of summer’s blooms your maternal presence gives me direction and praise

Which help me to be warm and loving and blossom like the flowers in our gardens

I miss you

In my heart, in that magic untouchable place

Your pioneering soul glows and inspires me as much now as it did before your death

I miss you

Your Loving Daughter, Artemis

In loving memory of my mother

To all Moms, this is your special day. Thank you.
