Maternal Present
----------------
Oh how mine lips doth impart,
inspired words from mine own heart.
And loving too, as you will hear,
for the one I am speaking of is dear.
-
Wrapped within her tight embrace,
my troubles and worries are swiftly erased.
Her presence uplifts my spirit to soar,
and to bask in the glow of her warm ardor.
-
When times are rough, and hardships are neigh,
and all I can do is moan and sigh,
her whispers convey her heartfelt meaning,
and build up in me the brightest feelings.
-
Any arduous task she can overcome,
my stamina and vigour pales to her own.
Of this, more than any, I am confident and sure,
for she has one such as me with which to endure.
-
Like a sweet fragrance, wafting in the breeze,
so her melodious voice can caress me with ease.
Yet to those who lash out with malicious intent,
her tongue can sharpen with no relent.
-
Like a refreshing spring her words are to me;
an encouraging push to be all I can be.
The motivation she has for this is clear,
'tis her only son whom she holds quite dear.
-
What an example she proves to be!
What deep convictions she instills in me!
Her words in my soul, her training runs deep,
touching my heart, every crevace and breach.
-
Oh, the knowledge she hath amassed!
Her fingers deft for every task.
The wisdom she gives is a bounteous feast,
fermenting in me like a heated yeast.
-
A foundation of respect she hath made for herself,
her accomplishments reaching above all else.
At least, for me, this is so,
for while watching her my adoration grows.
-
My deep appreciation is made manifest here;
with these heartfelt words I've been expressively clear.
From the depths of my soul this hath bubbled forth,
as a gift to my Mom, who deserves it so much.
