Sunday Scribblings - March 13th 2011

The Sunday Scribblings prompt for this week is big. I had a lot of ideas for this one. My offering is a slightly revised version of a poem I wrote a few years ago. 


A great big hug 


Love is ... 
A huge cuddle
Sitting on a chair, eyes closed
'Your surprise is coming' 
'Stay there' 
'Close your eyes' 
A bunch of soursobs 
Placed in a glass on the kitchen bench 
Another cuddle 
'I love you mum' 
'Sit down, close your eyes' 
'Stay there' 
A picture especially drawn 
Another cuddle 
A smile about to burst 
'Do you want more flowers?' 
'Yes please' 
'I love you Mum' 
'I love you too' 
A great big hug 
An afternoon with a nearly five year old

    This is just like when my five-year-old granddaughter comes to visit. And her name is Kylie!

    This evoked sweet memmories of my children's younger years when they brought me the sweetest of gifts such as this, treasured moments and love shared, engraved on my heart. Beautifully written!

    What mother in Australia hasn't had Soursobs (a yellow invasive weed introduced from South Africa many years ago) given her by her children? It is nonetheless a precious gift indeed when received from your child.

    I remember when I was a little boy and wished to ingratiate myself with Mum, after a misdemeanour, it would be cow-parsley or dandelions. Delightful post.
