In her day, Traveler was
as fertile
as Mother Earth,
giving life to
four small voyagers,
who grew like saplings
off her sturdy trunk.
She fed them with laughter
and snippets of moon,
(for wonder),
and soon
they grew beyond her,
reaching for
an infinity of sky.
Now, Traveler
reflects and remembers,
basking in the glory
of their
exuberant
flowering.
Happy Mother's Day,
to the four special beings who
made me
Delightful poem and a good looking group there Sherry.

It is clearly a triumphant ending for not only the poem itself but for you Sherry. It sums up the happy feeling of having kids and being a parent.
