Me, sitting on Mumβs knee. β¦ L to R, Carole, Aunties Elizabeth & Pearl, & Grandma


Grandma and her 3 daughters. β¦ My mum (left) and her lady relatives
Gβday readers, itβs Friday morning, the 9th of May, here in Australia, the day of my motherβs birthday and my wife’s funeral day, and it’ll be Motherβs Day on Sunday. Todayβs Throwback Friday poem is from September 2019.
The Woman In Me
Inside every man
There is a woman
The mother of his soul
The lady of his heart
The kindness in his touch
The passion in his blood
The woman who fostered
The way he shows love

Without both the masculine and the feminine sides in all of us, we couldn’t become, a full, “being”, that’s why we tried to find that delicate balance between our own masculine and feminine sides best as we can.

Yes, I think we are subtle mixture of both, we have the same human blood and the same human heart …
