Poem

Those strands of grey on your temples
Creased brows in a smirch stained plea, 
Those dark circles around your eyes
I know they have come for me.

Those gallons that you have sweated
Managing our home and hearth, 
Endless pains you have writhed in
Since the time you gave me birth.

Can vouch for the wrinkles many
That line your beautiful face, 
That hurtful quiver of your lips
You lovingly veiled with grace.

Those coarse varicose hands of yours
From toil and labors of home, 
Affections I took for granted
Your needs buried by a gnome.

I reminisce your scolding harshly
Leaving home in irate din, 
Not knowing the pain I caused you
And how your heart bled within.

Your lap so comforting and warm
Whereupon I soundly slept, 
But never did I care for times, 
When you have silently wept.

All my failures you stoutly bore
While you kept me in your shade, 
But those little follies of yours
Ugly hills of them I had made.

You cried with me when I was hurt
Smiled when was joyous with glee, 
You held me close to your bosom
When I saw my shadow flee.

I know your loving tender touch
Your pride at my growing so, 
You have held me deep in heart
Though times I took you as foe.

Wish had loved you more than I did
Grave folly this life of mine, 
Yet, you have ever forgiven
Saying, that I've always been thine.

Have never seen the face of God
Yet I know how he would be, 
When I gaze at your gentle eyes, 
He peeps through them at me.
