Poem
Remarkable mother devoted wife Forty seven years with her partner in life Before he passed, rarely apart He was her rock, she his heart Unprepared to live alone at age sixty eight But that didn’t stop her from buying a new gate Painting the walls of the house in every room Pulling up old tile, remodeling the bathroom Installing French doors, taking out the trash Clearing out the yard, removing dead grass Repairing the interior liner of the pool at dawn Tending the garden, mowing the lawn Unusually brilliant gourmet chef Her cooking skills are above the best Hell’s Kitchen’s-Chef Ramsey would agree Once tasting her chicken cacciatore No cookbook to create anything great Only flour, eggs and an oven to bake Swedish limpa bread with anise Her minestrone soup makes a feast Her intention is not to shock or impress It just so happens she does with finesse Whether gardening, painting or cooking She is constantly busy doing something Her acrylic or charcoal painting of old barns, Run down tractors, country homes and farms On a canvas, a saw, a fence or jar Surpass any artist I have seen by far Need an article researched, a recipe, or ride She’ll stop whatever to be by your side Never self involved not out of greed Rather motivated by another’s need My mother is the rarest angel on earth Supremely selfless yet full of self worth Unknowingly inspiring even to a stranger Simply by modeling her unusual good nature I feel so blessed that she is my mother She loves and listens better than any other A miraculous role model, balanced and whole I love that I am part of her and share her soul We cry as easily at displays of affection or pain We both love snow and the sound of the rain We are both, productive, sensitive and dedicated Creative, independent, giving and self motivated No one else I’d rather be than her daughter I am the luckiest to have her as my mother Her only girl and forever will always be And she is an angel like no other to me
