She....My Mother

She……My Mother

The first to hold me as a child,

This woman, so young, with the soothing smile,

The giver of love beyond visions wild;

She………My Mother.

Creator of games to pass the day,

Tucked me in at night and taught me to pray,

Then snuggled in when I begged her to stay;

She……….My Mother.

Steady and Calm as the eye of the storm,

Attended pet funerals, pretended to mourn,

Keeper of love and creator of warmth;

She……….My Mother.

This Lady, serene, queen of sacrifice,

Gentle corrector, always so wise,

Buyer of ice-cream to dry my eyes;

She……….My Mother.

Carries herself with unparalleled style,

Silently grieves with all our goodbyes,

Wept more than I as I walked down the aisle;

She……….My Mother.

The woman I admire and shall forever need,

Taught me to believe in the beauty of dreams,

My Shining light for as long as I breathe,

She……….My Mother.
