"I just want to make her legacy live on and make it live through me." Johannie Rochette
tonight is yours
the world awaitsmy work done
I am here
watching
you
glide
jump
and fly
know cheri
the kiss
sent skyward
sparkles
on my cheek
like a star
my pride
and joy
lifting you
up
I feel
the weight slip
from your shoulders
to your hands
a bronze medal
resting there
as you smile
a ribbon
connecting
my heart
to yours
well done

Beautiful words
and emotions
Sweetly nostalgic, poignant; love lives on in our hearts forever. It was a touching moment when she blew a kiss toward heaven... you pulled at my heart strings with this one - 'well done' !!
Hers was a great story. I loved the Olympics, miss them already.
This....a ribbon
connecting
my heart
to yours....is grand.
I see you've given me something else to explore...Maypie Tales.
Beautifully written and very touching.
Actually very beatifically written.
I thought of my own daughter when I read this. Tears welled up. Beautiful.
What flowing sentiment ~ very well done!
Wait... are you the mother of an Olympian? Or is this merely inspired?
I am curious! Merlot time!
The kiss sparkling on your cheek -- lovely!
You really tapped into the truth.. a love never lost..courage and faith overcame the profound saddness...Everything the mother wanted!
I especially love "the kiss/sent skyward/sparkles/on my cheek/like a star"
Beautiful use of short lines.
An uplifting poem capturing a perfect moment in time-- very beautiful..

Powerful! A very visceral thought provoking poem.... love it.
After I read Vicki Lane's comment -- does remind me of some themes of Bob Dylan's earlier songs.

Nicely written and topical too!
jeff--try as he might Max the Mighty Lab (aka the oldest puppy in the world) was not able to master the triple axel or lutz so he did not make the team.... so no I am not a mother of an olympian just channeling and using those multiple personalities so well.
yvonne--thanks --hope to see one of your Magpie Tales soon!
A lovely poem I loved that ribbon connecting their hearts.
