Happy Mother’s Day

A sonnet for mothers on Mother’s Day x

Flying Carpet
						
Persian with blue speckled songbirds
rising above delicate fruited trees,
for my wedding, from my mother
with joy and silent beauty it lay 
on the floor of our home. 
Never stepped on
and then you 
little feet and curious fingers,
you always laughing
running and stumbling
on my flying carpet,
delicate mud footprints.
See me smiling
holding you tight.
