Poetry

Mother


Mother

 

M is for molding a young heart and mind.

O is for only me, our special time spent together.

T is for tough love, teaching me the value of a hard day’s work.

H is for healing words and for being there.

E is for ears always ready to listen.

R is for respect, and refuge from life’s storm.
