That’s how I love you

in dreams
that’s how I love you

in memories
that’s how I love you

in fat broken sobs
that’s how I love you

in whispered secrets
that’s how I love you

in a little boys arms
longing for yours

in the flutter of a girl
growing into perfect form

in eons
that’s how I love you

me ke aloha pumehana
that’s how I love you.

This is very touching! The "mom" experience is far from my consciousness, yet your poem coaxes me into the mindset where I could imagine myself in this situation. You illustrate how having kids intensifies so many of life's experiences, good & bad. Your expressions of love feel so genuine! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

But also really beautiful.
Been missing you, how are you doing.

A few minutes ago the bright shimmering morning waved its fingers through the forsythia and i thought of you just a little extra hug or few. Lost an hour's sleep past night but that gives time to feel and share, as ever we do, m' dear friend. Waving across the miles, hoping a Dorset smile or few reach your shores and heart. Huggles as ever and always.x

Many aloha from across the pacific beautiful Em. Hugs from Skipper, Kalani and I xxx

[emmajoy]

Hellooo and hugs galore... hoping all colours of dreams and hopes are curling around you more and more, dear petal. Gentle huggles and tickles for you wee darlings. Love from here to there... warm and speedy. xx
