Once more I’m participating in Weekend Writing Prompt. For instructions on how to join the fun, click HERE. Thank you, Sammi, for something different to challenge and fire the imagination. Today’s mother’s reflection is brought to you by the word:
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I do.
I believed it then.
I believe it now.
When you curled your tiny fingers around mine
You furrowed an unfathomable trench in my heart
That has only deepened with time.

Dear Violet,
I’m not even close to finished with reading, commenting and replying in Friday Fictioneers. But these word prompts keep inspiring me. What’s a person to do? Thank you.

Dear Dale,
This one took no more than ten minutes to come together. Craziness. The words prompts keep taking me in reflective directions. I hope to be finished with FF by Wednesday. 😉 Thank you.
Shalom and hugs, my friend,
Rochelle
PS I’m still blaming you for this.

I know. I cannot resist them. The shorter, the better! I was caught up with FF… course, I haven’t looked yet to see how many were added on since last night.
Guess I’ll go and try my hand with this one and g’head, blame me. I can take it!

Touching, and so true. The first sight and feel of your children is truly love at first sight.

Dear Adele,
I remember, as a child, being irritated with my mother saying I would always be her baby. It took having my own to really understand. 😉 Thank you.

Awwww … what a goofy photo … and what a lovely, lovely verse! Yes, there are some furrows that little ones dig into our hearts to burrow for eternity, with no time needed at all for the digging. Instantaneous unconditional love. 🙂

That silly photo is one of my all time favorites. One of those rare times two out of three weren’t at each other’s throats. 😉 Of course the poem is written to all three of them. Thank you.
