Me personally, I was intrigued by the idea of a mother with empty arms. That seems rich with opportunity! Especially if you challenge yourself to go beyond the expected, so many of us, even those with out children are mothers with empty arms and what does that mean??? ohhhhh....if you don't covet this, I am definitely going to1Isadora Gruyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036782300945079952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-33949485994462224612014-08-07T11:57:10.857-05:002014-08-07T11:57:10.857-05:00This is beautiful, Susie.......I resonate with the...This is beautiful, Susie.......I resonate with the mother's empty arms.........as the others say, wherever you take this, it will be powerful.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-11231956238901687642014-08-07T11:24:28.602-05:002014-08-07T11:24:28.602-05:00I really respond to the universal nature of your o...I really respond to the universal nature of your opening stanza. I would perhaps move closer to 'personal' experience and go for 'you' or 'I' instead of 'we'.

My own 2 cents is that I'm far less interested in the world part of this... I want to read about your losses and gains. You know? Actually, the world goes on no matter what... when a mother dies, even when a child dies, when any number of unthinkable things happens, the world keeps going. I would like to read about how your narrator keeps going. Keep going with this! xo MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030161532713347225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-29167827232241351272014-08-07T03:13:45.804-05:002014-08-07T03:13:45.804-05:00Its a nice dedication to all the mothers, a mother...Its a nice dedication to all the mothers, a mother will always look after us even when she's not her.Vandana Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270400982093787158noreply@blogger.com
