Mine Mother Divine

Her Faith? Ironically is unbelievable 
She's Steel, personally she's undeceivable
quite literally inconceivable, my existence...
tribulations sometimes seemed unbeatable
Mom made all my failures feel more treatable
             all my idea's and dreams more feasible.
Her strength, an overall demeanor to be more reasonable.  
"Make life more meaningful... display a leading role."

Sometimes when I'm not feeling up and/or able
Picture myself at my family-dining-room table.
With her... The Creator from her unto cradle
With whispers of dreams, her stories and fables.
To recognize, and emphasize and try to ignore labels
Sturdy, a motionless rock, ain't nothing more stable.

The things she has taught me...
Imbedded deeper than even my eyes can see.
Led me as I followed trusting and blindly
Kept me safe and clean when gross and when grimy.
Maintained order... Yet what comes next...?
                         Can you please remind me?
You put our futures first mom, thank you kindly...
for being there to guide me, anger and surprise me.

Amaze me in many ways over so many days
Imagine life without me...
                    All the money you'd have saved :)
All the disappointments, missed appointments no personal importance... 
                      Your patience never waved.
No matter what the case... 
The flagrantly familiar are days not long away...
trust me that I love you mom, when I have no words to say.
