i am loving this poem, ..........................
Hi Adeline,
Just to let you know. I tried to pull up Mother Dear for a quick read, but was unable to access it on this site.
Dear Adeline, I was reading your bio and noticed that you lived in New Brunswick? I have some family living there as well. Another coincidence is that I spent my formative years in Rockville MD! I went to Rockville high school & Montgomery College! I now live on Cape Cod. Your poetry is marvelous. I especially enjoyed your poem about cats. You are a writer!
from ahmed to adeline with all love and respect
let me pray
on the carpet of your poetry
invoking the lord
giving me all divine colours
to be loved
and the beloved
not the stranger
in your fascinating meadows
where the grass dances all day
and the dew sleeps softly
adeline foster
be the sunflower
the daisy
and the sweet colour
