Mother's Day and My Two Mothers

Here's a double haiku for my mother.

although we sometimes

saw her optimism as

unrealistic

a glimpse of light

when no one else can see it

brings hope, not deception

Besides remembering my own mother, I want to honour my unofficial second mom, Frances C., a good friend of my mother. When I needed dating advice or a good easy recipe, I knew I could call her. She was a Virgo, and had common sense and objectivity. She also had the cooking and baking skills that my mother and I lacked. What a great lady!

I get drunk on the sight

Daily Haiku Prompts: summer, moon, imbibe
