mother,
dear mirror
who shows me
who i am…loved,
worthy to be loved,
learning how to trust
others in wide world;
first centered on you,
it’s expanded through
your wise instruction,
inspiration, induction.
now i in turn nurture
love as reflection
** of you **

Such a lovely tribute, Lynn! I also love the mirror shape. I always struggle with shape poetry.
