Perfect mother.

Posted on January 8, 2020November 18, 2021 by chefswifediary

Silent she is in the eyes of others, calibre she excels in her own challenge. Beauty she is in the eyes of ours, love she creates out of affection.   Staring at the mirror I inherit her feature, assess myself I see milestones. Comparing to a role model seems impossible, for she is unsurprisingly a…

Dedication.

United we stand.

Posted on January 3, 2020November 20, 2021 by chefswifediary

“Unity” is a powerful word. It is as strong as the enormous effort needed in pulling it through. A word not to be misconstrued – saying doesn’t mean doing.  “All for one and one for all, united we stand, divided we fall.” – Alexandre Dumas Photo by Hannah Valentine

Journey to wisdom.

Posted on November 19, 2019November 20, 2021 by chefswifediary

In the horizon future is calling, courageous soldiers it hopes to charm.   A journey that may take decades, not one tad they look afraid.
