Though the knee hurts so very much
Wipes the tears away /qc


my heart was broken
Dr. Mom to the rescue

sunlight danced upon her skin

oh, Mama my dear
pink peony bloomed for you
my first blooms this year /nf


lilacs
begin in each new mother
these blooms /_m


sweet iris
a part of mother's garden
in mine /b'oki


Mother's day
listening the sound of tape
her Koto Harp /sn
