My mother use to say….

My mother use to say 
whenever I gave I her one 
of my poems to critique-

my mother whose grace 
and beauty lingers like the 
reflection of sun on water-

that my words remind her 
of the time in her youth 
when her life was honey.

But I am not a bee and she was 
never a queen— all my words,  
just her sweet reflections.
