Humility overwhelms women like me.
When the feeling arises,
power and heat settle on my cheekbones,
a blushing arrives, and they’ll all know it.
My eyes weaken and bashfully divert theirs.
Kick a rock and draw a heart with my toe,
as I take in the moment.
Jointure –
And then, when I, Momma, regain composure,
I’m fiercely proud looking toward my son’s window.
I ponder what he has learned here and if he will use it for good. Always.

Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
You are such a good Mom :-) Your son must be very proud of you, just as you are with your worry about him ~ and you’ve given him everything one needs. Love this poem. Especially since I can see this “Kick a rock and draw a heart with my toe, as I take in the moment.” A special lady you are, Audacious 🙂

My son, makes me proud, and I have a redheaded daughter I genuinely see as my dearest friend. Grown children are a joy. I adore being a mom, and they support my writing and creativity. They tease me for always having my head in the perverbial clouds and I just giggle. I can’t wait to see their lives unfold.
I’m learning how to just be Audrey – an audacious one, if I can. ♡

He’s your son. Of course he will use his knowledge for good always.

This photo was taken at an angle. Its of the senate side of the capital. Seeing it at night was a treasured moment and one my son was anxious to show me. Thank you for your lovely comment, John. ♡

This is beautiful, Audrey. I think it’s something only a mother can say. I wouldn’t worry about your son doing good with all he has learned. He has learned from you.

Dan, I’ve enjoyed watching my son forge his path forward. I had fewer glimpses of his future as adulthood takes over. It’s good to see him prepared as best he can be.
You’re so sweet. I loved raising my children. Motherhood, a role I adore. Thank you ♡
