-mother-

One Word #12
Word: Mother
Mother, noun, A woman in relation to her child or children

She’s 
always 
on her feet,
making sure that
I have what I need. 
Whenever I need a 
person to speak to, she is
always there, and she responds. 
Even if it brought her to her knees,
that woman would bring her children the sun.
Though she’s had enough, she always smiles,
because she knows what true pain feels like.
Even through moments that would bring 
any human to their knees,
she still finds a way through. 
I’m envious, for
I know I could
never do
what she 
does. 
Just  
for us,
she hides how
she feels, though she
knows it hurts the most. 
This human, who has walked 
for so long without a break,
is still walking towards the future.
Others would call this a miracle,
but it’s simply the result of hard work.
This woman, who defies the fairy tales,
for she never needed a knight in
shining armour to carry her.
Nothing I do will be 
enough to repay 
my mother, for she 
has already
done so
much.
