~ A small collection of poems about my mother who died right before Mothers Day and whose visitation was on Mothers Day ~
Mothers & Daughters Haiku (2011)
How complicated
Are the fragile bonds between
Mothers and daughters.
Mothers Acrostic (2011)
M eeting the needs
O f others
T hroughout each
H our, day and week,
E veryone should
R emember her day.

Finally (2026)
Finally after all these years,
And all the failures—yours and mine—
Age has brought me to a place
Where those failures do not define
The love we had—though never easy,
Brittle, fragile, quick to break…
The two-score years since last we spoke
Left aching absence in your wake.
Kathryn E. Darden
