Mother You Are

"I only wish that these words could accurately paint your picture" Mother you are the description of beauty You’re the definition of love. You are a precious gift sent from the heavens above. You are mountain peaks of picture-perfect peace You are grand valleys of valiance and virtue. With a presence so breathtaking, that lilies bow in awe before you. Mother you are graceful rivers of belief and refined streams of hope You are fabulous fountains of fidelity that so freely overflow You are the sun’s radiance of courage. Your inner light gleams brighter than all the stars in the sky A sublime sparkle of strength and devotion is found in my eyes. You are my strong tower; you’re my sanctuary of faith Mother you are a temple of wisdom, and in your heart I’ve found my refuge, My serene safe place Chiquita Chiamaka Baity Contest : 'Mother' Sponsor: Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~

Chiquita, Would that I could have written something so beautuful, eloquent and loving for my own mother before she left this world. Again, you've outdone yourself as this one leaves me near speechless and in humbled awe of your poetics. So glad you enjoyed "The WORD" and THIS poem and YOU are what the WORD is ALL about:) God bless, Terry
